Altered Postcard ::



Vintage Stamp Set
                                So, many possibilities when using stamp sets. I purchased this set years ago from a antique  dealer. I paid $ 25.00 for the complete set.Back then, I thought I over paid for it. But, it's worth every penny. It even came with ink and a ruler. Yes, I collect Vintage postcards too. I thought this morning I would alter one as an experiment. Cool, another fun way to use my stamps. I even color copied it on my copier to use journaling. Fantastic, give it a try! It was a hard parting with a great Vintage post card. I eventually caved in, after I went through my assortment of cards. I am happy with the outcome.Have a great weekend. Stay warm.

Art Journaling With Brown Bags::


               Once upon a time, there was a crafty Woman. She made a Art  Journal out of  brown paper bags. Two brown bags to be exact. She used everything she had on hand. Paper scraps, vintage photos, stamps, glue, markers and odds and ends. She was on a budget since, money was tight.She had a love of ephemera.

                              The rest was history. Now, I am truly addicted to my new passion.
                                                                 Art Journaling.
                              
                                     Just think it all started with a Brown Paper Bag!
      
                                                                                  Find your niche, your passion.
                                                                                       Your new love...
