First off, I want to say THANK you to sweet friend Pam Hooten. I got a box of the most excellent vintage goodies from her this week! I'm like a kid in a candy shop today! She sent me some cool vintage millinery flowers and these awesome hat pins to use in my Crafty Secrets design work! Oh man, I'm dying over the goodies! I cannot WAIT to use them on some vintage creations soon! I put this baby card together last week with an image from Crafty's "Childhood" image & journal notes booklet, and I used Crafty's Baby Girl stamp set to stamp the booties & the sentiment.
I die-cut some sheet-music flowers with my Sizzix flower layered dies. I colored in the booties with a Buttercup Yellow Copic marker (Y21), which matched the yellow in the baby image pretty well. The booties are stamped on the journaling notebook paper that was attached to the baby image. On each page of the new Crafty Secret's booklets, you get a vintage image, and a journaling notebook paper that matches the image. This little girl in the hatbox is so sweet!
On another note, I had the BEST lunch hour today~! I was having a horrible day and decided to run to an estate sale in my neighborhood on my lunch hour. I was on my way to the bank and decided I needed to check out the sale instead. The sale was at the sweetest little house, and I scored big!
I spent $6.00 TOTAL on all of the goodies here! I got a vintage red lunch pail for .25, MINT condition, unopened photo corners for .10, sheet music and some vintage ladies craft booklets, 2 old photos (.25 each) and the MOST GORGEOUS, shiny, mother-of-pearl buttons! I was just telling my Mom to keep her eyes peeled for pearl buttons at garage sales! They were the MOST expensive part of this haul....$2.00 for the BAGGIE and $1.00 for the box! You'll be seeing them soon on Crafty Secrets projects! AND FINALLY, I think I figured out how to get vivid images on my new camera tonite...the photos are getting better, eh? Monica...marker colors seen and noted, girlfriend! I'll definitely start sharing Copic colors with you!
Happy Friday!

I will be looking forward to see what you create. I love the antiques and vintage stuff and have loads stored away without any idea how to display the pieces.
