Vintage Photo

re-do



Occasionally I find a bunch of great photos and most I keep to save for future artwork
but I have a bunch of vintage black and white photographs that I aren't really special
so I decided to try something really rather cool, in my opinion.

I am a scrapbooker and card maker usually with stamps and stickers and fun papers.
This time I wanted to do things differently.
You'll need a * blank card, vintage photograph, some small scraps of paper or ribbon *

Then just start lightly gluing down some paper, and the photo in a pleasing way,
then sew the parts down or don't, whatever you think is cool looking.
Add some pieces of ribbon and some cute little flowers
my favorite part is:
I used my {vintage} typewriter to type out the sentiment
you could also use some letter stamps if you don't have a typewriter.


see the details up close. Cool right.
I think this would be such a neat card - to give totally different.
Just imagine the fun you could have with the photos and matching
them up with some funny sentiments. Your choice.

I have more in the works...will share soon.

I am linking this up to the following parties this week.

O.K. it's late - sleep well, pleasant dreams
