Vintage Ephemera

I was sorting/cleaning before I had my big surgery and realized I am a collector. Collector of almost anything old. I get it from my Dad, he was a collector too. He would open his drawer of old collected treasures and one by one we would examine each item..he would tell me how he acquired the old thing and usually there was a story or two. Now, I have my own drawer of treasures and over the years my collection has grown. I usually have two categories...Ephemera paper (flat) and Ephemera Misc (bulky stuff). When I am out and about at garage sales, thrift stores or antique shops I always keep my eyes open. You just never know what you might find. I also look on eBay. Sometimes you can find paper ephemera or junk drawer lots for cheap. It takes patience with eBay, but the payoff can be worth it. I took some of my paper treasures and scanned them so I could keep using them in my mixed media and scrapbooking projects. You'll find the links below..I hope you like them as much as I do! 

enjoy,

Circle Journal Pages and Name Tags

This was for my last swap on the 2Peas FB Group swap. I decided with all my surgeries I didn't want to have deadlines and projects still due while I was trying to heal. The Circle Journals theme was each persons state. Each participant made a page about their home state and city. I started off by making a collage in PicMonkey. I added text to title each space in the collage. One the back side I listed my favorites as corresponds to the collage. I used My Minds Eye Cut and Paste paper and stickers. Silhouette US outline and Nebraska cutout. Also some washi tape and stamped black dots.
