TSRCC

The challenge this month was to use a vintage item on your layout. Some of the layouts are from last month when the challenge was "distressing," 

Distressed edges and inked butterflies. The flower is also distressed.

 Vintage item is the dress pattern.
The buckle is the vintage item on this card. Vintage lace is used on the right page.

The yoyos were taken from an old quilt.

This page was distressed using ink and some torn paper.

More torn paper, inked and wrinkled tags.


Metal embellishments and scanned pages from an old book are the vintage elements on this page. This girl, Sandy could not bear to tear up her old book.



Linda used old pictures and a newspaper article for her vintage items. The buttons are old too.

Pam took her vintage metal flowers and colored them black with acrylic paint. You can also color metal with a sharpie---it will retain the shine that way.

Here's my layout about the house we grew up in. I had some old coat check tickets that I picked up at the flea market to make the title---12036. The key is old, but not from our house. I made a pocket to hold all of the vintage house papers---receipt for mom and dad's earnest deposit---$1000, the agreement from the builder to build the house, and several other old documents. The journaling block just tells the story of the day we moved in to the house. Dad lined all 4 of us up on the front porch. I was 4, Ronnie was 3 and the twins were 2. He told us NOT to move---and when he said NOT to move, we wouldn't move for anything. One of the twins pottied---can't remember which one, but we didn't move. We all got wet! I can still remember Ronnie and I trying to scootch away as the pee rolled towards up, but we ran out of porch and had no choice but to get wet!
