A Mother’s Card~
Hi everyone, Connie here with a Mother’s Day card using some awesome vintage fusion from Vintage Street Market.
You can find all kinds of vintage fusion (the perfect blend of old and new) in the store. I love using the old vintage tickets and labels.
The flash cards make for the perfect sentiment inside the card!!! I’ll see you in a couple weeks with another vintage fusion card!!!! by: C. Mercer… Read the rest
Spring Party~Part 2
Hi, Connie back with the rest of the Spring Party decorations. I don’t want to disappoint a little girl!!!
Here is the bucket , all decorated, holding the kid treats! I though it would also make a cute centerpiece for the table. I used some vintage fusion, Craft bingo cards and Twirly Twine.
A close up of the kid treats. I used the Cakewalk-guest List paper and punch holes in it to hold a candy sucker. Easy and I love the vintage , retro look!!!
Here is a close-up of the tag!!! Simple and cute!!!! Here is all the decorations photographed together. I bet you feel like you have been to a party:)!!!!!
Hope this makes you want to have a party!!
Spring Party~Part 1
Hi everyone, Connie here with party invites!!! For the past couple of years my granddaughter hosts a Spring Party~she is 8 years old. All the duties are given out and mine are to make decorations and bring kid treats.
So here are the invitations, for them!!! I used the Bingo Craft cards, Twirly Twine, Tinted Tape and some vintage fusion!!!
I used the Cakewalk~Guest List paper by October Afternoon to make the little fold out invitations. They are taped together with the Tinted Tape. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks I’ll have the rest of the decorations up and all photographed together!! Until then~

Easter Goodies~
Hi, Connie here with some Easter goodies with plenty of cuteness added!! I started with this adorable vintage ice cream cup, some vintage ephemera and one pink flower. That was enough to make this cutie~
Perfect Easter decoration! The egg is on a bed of Ivory Tissue Paper. Then I made some cards out of some cool retro bunny paper by Reminisce and added some vintage lace and a button. The cards are 4″ X 4″ a great size to use as table place cards. I used the Tinted Tape on the greeting card.
Here they are all together, waiting for Easter and a party!!! Be sure and stop by the Vintage Street Market store~ it is full of vintage goodies!!
Happy Easter !!!! by~C. Mercer
A trip down Memory Lane~
Hi everyone, Connie here with some cool vintage books and cups! You will notice right off why I think these books are really “cool”. I have two boys and three grandsons and these books~
I mean what are the chances, right!!!!
The other way cool items are these cups. They are old, crackled and so vintage. My mother and mother-in-law collected these for my boys when they were small boys. I especially love these three!!! Hope you enjoyed my trip down Memory Lane, I’ll see ya in a few weeks!!! by~C. Mercer… Read the rest
