Digital Two for Tuesday 115

Everyone seems to like the images edited by Pixelmator.  They are extremely clear but I am scanning at a very high dpi.  Next I will have to experiment with lowering the dpi to see how low I can go with out losing too much clarity.  The following images are from a December 1911 McCall's Magazine.  This was truly an elegant time.  When I was a teenager a version of this look came back again for a short time.  There was lots of lace, big collars and beautiful sleeves. I just loved Gunne Sax clothing by Jessica McClintock.

Two from McCalls

I finally had a chance to download a new program today for repairing my images.  I will be trying a few programs the next few weeks.  Hopefully I will find one that works for all of my blogs.  The one I used today is called Pixelmator. Please let me know if you like the clarity on these pictures.

Today I have two adorable images from the December 1911 McCalls magazine.  You can see more of the images from this magazine at my other blog Clearly Vintage.

Digital Two for Tuesday 113

It has been a crazy busy week and I haven't had anytime to scan images.  So I only have one new image from the paint book I've been posting from and one image from my archives.

 Well since all the stores are playing Christmas music already I thought I should post some winter digi stamps. These are also from the paint book.

Sweet Digital Stamps



All of these Paint Book images are so sweet.  The children are so cute and the scenes are timeless.  If you have made anything with series of digital stamps I would love to see them.  Please attach them to this post in the comments section.

Two More Cuties From the Paint Book


I am not sure what you could make with these but the images from the paint book are so perfect for digital stamping.

We've Got Power


Finally the power is back on.  We stayed at my mother in laws a few nights as the house was about 42 degrees F.  Unfortunately that was a two hour commute to work.  But it was toasty warm.  Most of my friends still do not have power.  Unbelievable!  In honor of the snow I am posting two images from the Little Folks Paint Book.  There is no copyright but I think it is from the late 30's.  These pages are on pulp paper and no matter how clear I get them in editing they seem to show up with spots when I post them.

No Power Again

Sorry I have no images to post today. We have had no power/water since Saturday due to a freak late October snowstorm. We got 16 inches of heavy snow. Unfortunately the trees had leaves on them still so most of them are damaged. Our lilac and forsythia bushes are decimated. The willow trees have lost their tops.
I will post when we get our Internet and power back.
