Wow, nay I say it's been a QUICK three months since I last posted. I didn't create much this summer. We started out just busy with outdoor stuff and little fun trips here and there. Then I had surgery in the beginning of Aug and here we are in Sep! I'm quite busy at work and will be right up until I leave for Scrapfest at the Mall of America in two weeks. I'm SO EXCITED to see my Sister and Aunt! It's going to be a fun (and too fast) weekend. I joined 2Peas in a Bucket website and will be participating in my first "swap". I joined a Christmas tag swap. I signed up for one Vintage group. I stared out with some vintage post cards I got off of eBay. Really cool, as some have writing on them and are from 1914. I then did a blanket stitch to make a boarder. My first attempt..not too bad I hope! I sewed some buttons, then glued some mini vintage plastic holly and then tied a piece of twine on top. I sprayed some sheet music with peal mist and cut out to match the vintage post card tag. Then I found a cute vintage looking gingerbread man and glued the image to red card stock. I wanted the little guy to be a bit thicker than just plain card stock. After I fussy cut him out, I colored him a little bit more with my Stampin Up Markers. Then tied it all together with some vintage off white lace and ric-rac.The picture is of the front and then the back. I'm pretty happy with how they came out. I just hope the other swappers are happy too!
