Vintage Christmas

Hi there.  I hope you're doing well and glad you stopped by.

It's been a busy few days here making cards for ER staff at a nearby hospital.

I did find time for a couple of quick Christmas cards just in time to
join in at Jingle Belles.


I didn't think I had anything vintage but when I was going through my stash
looking for something else, I found a little bag with some sweet vintage pieces.

The background was also hiding in my stash.  I tried to sponge the edges
to make it look more vintage.  I really need to work on my sponging!

This adorable image was also in the bag.
Don't they have the sweetest faces?


The embossed frame was, you guessed it, in my stash.

I've make a dent in them but I wonder if I'll ever get to the end of those UFOs!

Challenges:
CAS Christmas - Christmas Song (O Christmas Tree)
Jingle Belles- Have yourself a Very Vintage Christmas


Stay well and creative!

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    Two super finished cards Bonnie, beautifully vintage, and all using things from the bits box. I'm sure I probably have quite a few things that could be finished but don't think it's happening at the moment. x

    There's something so special about these vintage scenes, Bonnie... they remind me of some actual vintage cards that I found among my Mom's things - they fell to pieces in my hands, and must have been some she had saved from her own mom.
    Two really beautiful cards - and, yes, very sweet faces!

    Wow, Bonnie! How beautiful and sweet are your vintage cards. You used these Christmas images wonderfully, and extremely rarely, you still kept the CAS style. IM very impressed.

    I'm always amazed by the treasures you pull from your bag/stash, Bonnie!
    These two cards are wonderful vintage Christmas cards. I don't think I've ever made really vintage-looking cards.
    Not only the center pieces, but also the backgrounds are wonderful!

    What a great idea and so ecological, I truly like this. You did an amazing job with these vintage pieces. Shhhhh about the sponging, I find you did a great job. A beautiful generous gesture on your part. Take care xx
