Online Again

I'm excited to be back online again after some probs with our provider!  I have resorted to dial-up but now that our new modem has arrived I hope to be back to normal tonight!

I have really missed being able to see what's going on out there in blogland and will have some catch up reading to do!

Stay tuned I will be listing some new creations in the next few days!

Vintage Bathing Beauties

My lovely sister-in-law Jo has come to stay for a few days while my DH is away and this is what I've created while she's been here.  I'm just a novice with all this card making so it's been great to be able to learn some of the ins and outs from her!  Besides she has all these special tools which has just made it much more fun!

I bought the picture card from Paperlicious studio on the Sunshine Coast and then added my own pieces of vintage laces, buttons and pages from an old book.  I love doing these vintage looking cards.

Old Buttons....

Don't you just love old buttons.  I was lucky enough to find these at a garage sale on Saturday.  They belonged to the young lady's Grandmother and she used to play with them as a child. 

They were such a bargain at only $2.  One of my better finds for the day!

Vintage Finds ...

Just thought I'd show you a few treasures I have found over the last couple of weeks at garage sales. First is a lovely little wooden set of drawers. I have made it home to a lot of my vintage jewellery. What a bargain, it was only $5. I couldn't believe it! On Saturday I found this lovely set of embroidered doileys, a lovely large piece of white cotton lace and these divine vintage buttons. Also a lovely old lace covered coathanger.

Isn't it just great when you find those special treasures!

Vintage Wedding


Just thought I would show you the vintage layout I have done for this photo of my husband's grandparents.
Lillian Kruger married Malcom Duncan on 18 December 1929 at Kilcoy Methodist Church.
Don't you just love her wedding dress and the lovely head piece.
I still have to add a few vintage pearls and then it's finished.
