Vintage Wednesday : telephones

Everyone had a vintage telephone like these. My parents' was orange, just like this one.

Pretty uh?

I love those old telephones. They look way better and cooler than our brand new wirefree ones.

Here are some of my favorites...

Vintage Wednesday

 

hey there!

 

This is a new topic on my blog. Vintage Wednesday will be all about Vintage stuff : photos, fashion, souvenirs, music...everything that I love! :)

My first Vintage Wednesday : share a photo of you as a kid.

I've been lucky to have hundreds and hundreds of photos of me as a kid as my dad loved to shoot photos as often as possible. I'm so going to do something with this picture! It's my favorite!

I'd love to see a photo of you as a kid : please post a picture on your blog and link it here :) I'd be happy to come and see it :)

hugs!

Inspiration Tuesday

Helo dear readers!

Want to fly away? Me too! I'm looking forward to Spring, and Summer, desperately needs some warmer temperatures, I really can't wait to go to the beach, feel the sand between my toes, take sunny pictures and enjoy the sun on my skin... :)

Today I'm challenging you to go Hybrid or, if you don't have any digital files on your computer, to work with a big picture!

Supplies list : Papers (American Crafts, Paislee Press); Alphas (Studio Calico, Sassafras, October AFternoon); Digital kit (Paislee Press); Flower (Sassafras) Stickers (October Afternoon); Hot air balloon stamp (Studio Calico).

To create this layout, it's very easy :

1. Create your design on Photoshop (open a 12x12 document, add photos, digital files...)

If you don't have a wide format printer, work on a 8,5x11 document and print it on your regular printer.

2. Print the whole document.

Your layout is now on paper (FYI, I use the back of a white Bazzill cardstock to print my digital layouts), you just have to add regular scrapbook embellishments to your layout.

I made my title with Sassafras & Studio Calico alpha stickers, then decorated the layout with a Sassafras flower and my favorite SC stamp :)

And don't forget to cut your printed layout shorter so that you can mat it on a patterned paper : here, I used an American Crafts Dear Lizzy Christas paper :)

If you aren't into digital or hybrid stuff, I challenge you to be inspired by the sketch of this layout!

Have fun!

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!

Yesterday, today and tomorrow, tell your loved one that you love him/her!

I love you :)

FYI : I'm not the one who created this piece of art, but this Artist :)
