This is a Vintage Challenge - Remember the good old times when things were simple and neighbors and relatives all had doilies. The mothers and grandmothers gathering with the smell of small fine pastries, percolating coffee and crème filled the air. Make a layout using an old photo and a doily.
The winner will receive a $40.00 BlueMoon shopping certificate! Wow, can you image all the new CHA goodies you can get!!!!
This is my take using the Basic Grey Doily Paper and the "good old times theme!"
This is my great-grandma and myself. I must have been around 4 or so.
I made a couple coordinating flowers using the Basic Grey pattern papers.
Check out the cool metal spoon. It was in my January Flirtatious kit! Perfect embellishment for my tea page.
more simple flowers, also showing of I weaved some ribbon in and out of the doily paper. Very easy technique and finishes off the page.
ok...Remember this challenge is for you too! Dig out the supplies and post it!Have a great day!
