Over at the Studio blog this month the challenge is to use vintage things on your page, and we have been joined by some of the Queens of Vintageness - with some of the Jenni Bowlin designers, and there are Jenni Bowlin goodies up to win.
For my page I used an old photo (which I guess is a little vintage - tho I don't feel too old :)), some old dictionary page and a couple of mother of pearl buttons from my grandmas button collection. I also used a modern vintage October Afternoon home flash card too. I really struggled with this page, and this is the 2nd incarnation of it....I actually took the 1st one to pieces as I wanted to use the photo....it just wasn't working. So this is what I came up with in the end, the papers I used are Crate Papers Pretty Party range, lots of layering stitching of paper and then a glassine envelope and a journal tag behind the photo. I used a few of the stickers from the range, and also my favourite EK success punch for the tabs at the bottom and top. Some flicks of a really lemony yellow glimmer mist to the corners was my final touch.
