Fall Madness Sale

I am so excited to announce that I am having a Fall Madness sale on my clear photopolymer stamp sets. I must be mad because all of my stamp sets are 40% off. In order to get the discount, please email me at coraharkins@sbcglobal.net with which items you would like to purchase and I will send you a paypal invoice for the proper amount. You may also pay by check but I will have to wait until I receive the check and it clears to send out your stamps. There is no free shipping during the sale but you will have a choice of First Class US Mail or Priority. Anyone who has purchased stamps from me before knows that these stamps are top quality and made in the USA. So the pricing is as follows, all $24 sets are $14.40, all $18.00 are $10.80 and the $14.00 set is $8.40. Supplies are limited.

One of my amazing and talented blog friends Rebecca has created two samples using stamps from the Glamour Girls set and Motif. The greetings are by others.

Saturday Image Bonus 106

Here are a group of images from some cook booklets I have been collecting. There are so many fun images in these old advertising booklets. They remind me of when I was younger and my mom had a kitchen cabinet filled with these freebies from various companies. She would swear by some of the recipes. These are a little before my time or hers but loads of fun to look at anyway. I hope you enjoy.

As always please feel free to use any of these images in your personal artwork. I only ask that you do not resell the image itself or with others in a collage sheet.

Saturday Image Bonus 104

Last Christmas I framed a bunch of these in a multiwindow frame and gave them to my husband. He is in finance and he just loved these images as he uses some of these products in his work. It is funny to see how little assets Prudential had in 1886. Money sure has changed. I hope you will make something exciting with them.

Away for the Weekend

Sorry there is no Saturday Image Bonus this week. I was away for the weekend and just got back. My daughter and I had a girl's weekend in our favorite place Colonial Williamsburg. We always stay in one of the colonial houses and have so much fun going back in time. So stop by this coming Saturday for some new images.

Today Is My Birthday So Let's Post Some Birthday Postcards

Today is my birthday. My husband always jokes with me that I don't have a birthday but a week long celebration. In honor of that, I am posting 7 birthday postcards. Hope you all have a great day. I will be working but dreaming of creating something wonderful with all these postcards.

Started My Christmas Cards

Here is a Christmas card using the calendar image I posted last month. The edge was made with an EK Success border punch and the stamp is Studio 490.

So here are the last 4 pages from the children's poetrybook pages I bought a few weeks ago. They were loose pages so I have no idea of the original book. The colors are so vivid and the pages are in such good shape. I hope you create something lovely.

Farm Fresh Idea by Dana

Dana was kind enough to share with us a project she made using one of the SAB from week 73. The image that she used was a back cover of a vintage seed catalogue. You can see more details on this project and others on Dana's amazing blog Paper Daydream. Thank you for sharing Dana.

Saturday Image Bonus 101

First things first. I hope you will take the time this weekend to participate in the Journals of Love challenge. See posts below. Besides being a great project and a wonderful charitable thing to do, you will be eligible to win a set of Clearly Vintage stamps. On Sunday night we will randomly pick three participants to receive the stamp set of their choice.

Here are several pages from a children's book of rhymes. They are loose pages and the vendor wanted a lot of money for each page but they are so cute and I just love the vibrant colors. I thought they would be great in a frame as a baby shower present. Perhaps a series of three. I will be posting more of these next week. I have the pages scanned at a higher dpi but did not post that here as it would take up to much room, so if you are putting them in a frame and you need a better resolution let me know and I will try to send it to you.

Even More Halloween Postcards

Halloween Charm Bracelet

Here is a bracelet I made using the Halloween postcards I have been posting. I printed them in index size on my picturemate printer. The photos are water resistant. I got the charms from Sugarbeads and then I covered the image with Diamond Glaze after placing it in the frame. I made one for me and a smaller one for my daughter. If the sun ever comes out I will take a better photo later.

More Vintage Halloween Postcards

I just love all of the vintage Halloween images. They are so much fun. I hope you are enjoying these as much as I am. Also remember you have until Sunday at 6:00pm EST to send me your photos of your Journal in order to be in the drawing for the free Clearly Vintage stamps.

Sunday Challenge - Journals of Love for Cancer Patients

So as always, I meet the most wonderful people online. A few weeks ago Shirley posted that she and her nephew were going to be using images from the Digital Two for Tuesday Site on composition books that she alters and then gives to her local cancer patient unit. The patients use these as journals to keep track of their hectic lives in their battle to fight this horrible disease. They can use it to write down info the doctor has told them, meds or even their thought and hopes. It is a record of their journey. I thought what a wonderful opportunity for us to use our artwork for a good cause and thus the Jounals of Love challenge was created. So here is the challenge. Make one or more journals using images posted on Clearly Vintage or Digital Two for Tuesday for Shirley to send to the Cancer Unit. You can use a composition book like the journals below, or a bind it all to make your own book or anyway you have to bind your journal. You can add a bookmark or a pocket to your book. Whatever you wish. They can be as simple or intricate as you like. Here is the information about the hospital where we will be donating them. Shall you choose to take our challenge, you will be doing an extreme mitzvah ( a good deed). I have been taught that the best good deeds for someone you do not know . Also you will be put in a random drawing for a chance to win one of my Clearly Vintage Stamp sets. There will be three winners. As an added bonus, everyone that enters will have their journal posted onto the Digital Two for Tuesday or Clearly Vintage site. I hope you all will join this exciting challenge and pass the word to make it a success. I will post the address of where to send the books later this week. Here are several beautiful books that Shirley and her nephew Terry have made to get you thinking. The first one is by Terry and other two were made by Shirley.

Saturday Image Bonus 100

Wow, one hundred posts. I have been posting the Saturday Image Bonus for over 2 years. Time flies and I have love searching flea markets and eBay for images to share with you. It is definitely a labor of love to repair the images and scan them for all of you. In honor of the 100th post I will be having a challenge contest for charity in conjunction with my other site Digital Two for Tuesday starting Sunday. So be sure to check back tomorrow.

The images this week are from an old pattern flyer from the late 60"s from McCall's. I just love the hats and funky clothes. I removed the words and pattern numbers to make the images more usable.

As always please feel free to copy these images for your own personal use and artwork. Please do not sell the images as part of a collage sheet or digital download. If you use one of the images please link it to this site and post it in the comments section of this post so that we can all enjoy your artwork.
