A Vintage Photo Project

Welcome to the Blog today friends!  I am sharing a Vintage Photo project today featuring the Nirvana Collection.  This collection really matched the theme of this project very well and I loved being able to use alot of the paper patterns.  There are so many beautiful elements in the collection, that I was so happy to use many of them and have it all coordinate.
The vintage pics really make this an awesome and fun wall hanging.  I got this frame from 7 Gypsies.  Each individual slot is it's own masterpiece and collectively, it makes a wonderful gift!

This photo frame shows off the Lovely papers in this collection!
This project is very easy to make because you just cut the papers to fit in each slot and then decorate each one.  

These photos are of my husband when he was a little boy!  I guess that makes us Vintage (haha!)  I loved using these pictures for this special project to hang.
I added some fun "Junque and Gems" to each slot and tied tags with Stamps from Marion's  Stamp collection also.

I love the vintage camera paper and I made an adorable blower embellishment with Marion's new Bloom Impressions tool!  

Supplies:
7 Gypsies frame (receipt holder)
Marion Smith "Junque and Gems and
Nirvana Collection of Papers

Thanks for stopping by to see this project!
Leave us some LOVE in your comments and see you again very soon!

Father's DAY is on it's WAY!

Hello friends!  Thanks for visiting today!  I am thinking that June is moving right along and the coming weekend will be all about "DAD"!  I love the fact that the Nirvana line Marion made has such amazing elements perfect for making "guy" stuff!  I had an adorable Daddy and Me photo I wanted to scrap and this line was perfect for it!

One of my favorite "Junque and Gems" charms is that darling mustache!
Look how adorable it is with the top hat! 

There are lots of cute journaling spots and elements that make cute layers!
Tie on some charms to add some fun!
These are the pages I used to create my layout!
I also added some American Crafts Thickers Alphabet and Cork Stars
plus Tim Holtz clock hand and Charm "Listen".

Don't forget DAD on Sunday!!! 

Have a fabulous DAY!

Welcome back for day 2 of the Marion Smith Designs + Petaloo Blog Hop!!!

Did you see the goodies from yesterday?

 So much fun right?!

I just love seeing how everyone interprets the products in different ways and I am always inspired by something someone creates from the color scheme to the way they arrange the elements on their cards and scrapbook layouts, to the embellishments. The embellishments are my favorite!!!!

Those flower centers and pearls! Oh and the leaves. Those are so fantastic!

In love with Vintage Telegram!

Hi Everyone!  I have been creating with the Fabulous Vintage Telegram collection and made a quick layout with the Digital papers and elements!  These elements are so pretty and have so many possibilities!  I wanted a girly look to showcase this photo of my daughter, Jensen, so Vintage Telegram is perfect!  I am in love with all things Vintage-- especially the typewriter!

The Vintage Telegram papers and Elements plus:

Jodie Lee  Antique Junk Brushes and Carina Gardner stitches brushes 

Mirella Script font

Hope this inspires you to go grab some digital goodies and make yourself a Page! 

Blessings,  

Colette Nederhoff
