SHABBY VINTAGE

Wow, Tuesday already. And here I am with another post. This time I went vintage. I used a paper pad from Tim Holtz that I bought at Michaels from their clearance baskets. It is the Tim Holtz idea-ology Vintage Shabby. The papers come in 3 colors pink, blue and a taupy beige. There are designs on both sides of the paper. There are 12x12 papers, there are papers that can be cut for 6x6, there are papers that can be cut for ATC's and 2x2, and borders. This pad is just so awesome. I really do love it. The best thing about it is, that I only paid $4 for it. My image is a vintage dress that I found last year and have had only one occasion to use it. The sentiment comes from a Hero arts stamp set that I bought at Archivers on my last visit. I used my Spellbinders nestibilities in my cuttlebug. And embossed it with the Tim Holtz retro circles. The flowers are from my stash and I colored them with my copics E50 and E53. The brads are from Anna Griffin flora collection, I have had them for months and never used them. I did not even realize that they were brads until I opened the package. I just thought that they were different.  But, they were so perfect for this project. The pearls are a part of the fabulous package that I won last month from Midnight madness.  Brown pearls can you believe that?

I really like how this turned out. I plan to use it as part of a 2 page spread for my scrapbook. I participated in a fashion show a couple of months ago and I finally got my photos processed. So this weekend when my friends and I get together for a day of scrapbooking. I plan to get lots of pages done. this just gives me a head start.

There are are few challenges and then I must end this post. I can barely keep my eyes opened. And there are still a few things that I need to take care of before going to bed.
