I’m a garage sale addict–I admit it!  “Junkin’”, my girls & I call it.  Treasures galore just waiting to be found–and on one Saturday morning, a stack of old ’45′s came home with me…and one of them found itself turned into a gift this week…

A sweet paper doll was given a dress made of chocolately crepe paper.  Flowers in her hand, she sits on the little old ’45 whose center has been newly covered with gorgeous aqua foil paper & a vintage “buckle”. Easy peasy & oh, so much fun!

Supplies:

Family Fun Kit, Dimestore Vogue Paper Sheets & Tags Kit, Platinum Stickles,  Twirly Twine,  Ribbon

Spring Party~Part 2

1 Comment | Leave a new comment

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!!

A Thank You Vintage Style

1 Comment | Leave a new comment

Hello there!  Amy here checking in again with a card featuring ephemera.  Our store offers many vintage items that you can find here.

My card combines new with old for a fresh thank you for someone dear.  All supplies are listed at bottom of post.

I made a banner with aqua twirly twine and then added lots of fun items for a layered effect.  I created the blue gingham pennant using the paper sheet from Sewing Room Kit.  I added a flashcard, punched the heart from vintage paper and added a bingo marker, cut a piece of film, layered some tickets,  and then embellished with a charm hanging from a garmet pin.

Thanks for looking and hope you are inspired. :-)

Ephemera Journal Part II

1 Comment | Leave a new comment

Julie here again, with more of my ephemera journal to share with you–be warned–there’s LOTS of pages today!

With so many wonderful vintage papers & elements to work with, it was easy to go a little crazy making this little book of mine…

…page after page of vintage fabulousness to write and doodle on…

…or just leave as-is.  Maybe I’ll write on it later, maybe not.  It’s still fun!

As I said in my last post on my journal, I used ephemera from Vintage Street Market’s Ephemera kits, some of my own that I had on hand, and vintage images found online & printed out–these ladies are great favorites of mine!

Pockets and envelopes were fun to add onto pages…

…even an old manila tag with the string still attached worked it’s way onto one of the pages…

I hope you feel inspired to start a journal of your own–I can’t tell you how much fun you’ll have!

And once you start making your own art journals, you just may never be able to stop!

Julie
