Vintage Image Spice Cabinet







I was lucky enough to get some pictures from Christina of a beautiful spice cabinet that she refurbished using lot of vintage images. Many of them are from Saturday Image Bonus. So you will have to search the Clearly Vintage site to find them all. I counted at least 8 in these photos that are from this site. I guess on Christina can tell us the total. You can see her step by step photos on her blog A Little of What You Fancy. Thank you Christina for sharing your work with all of us.

Vintage Look Stationary Box











I made this stationary box with the two images I posted for Digital Two For Tuesday this week. The background paper on the box is actually the digital stamp printed in sepia brown directly on robin's egg blue rice paper. The cameo image is printed in black and colored with Copic markers. I added some antique lace and buttons to the side of the box. The metal accents are from Tom Holtz and the Grungeboard swirls are painted with Distress paint and Distress Stickles. The flowers are Prima. I also used some Distress Stickes on her clothing. If you have not used Distress Stickles it comes out looking like glass glitter on the image but less mess.
I can't wait to make some cards to fill up this box. What a wonderful gift it will make for someone.

A Little Cameo for My Little Girl

I wanted to show you a quick project made with digital stamps. This is a cameo I made for my daughter. The image is one of the Digital Two For Tuesday images this week. I used a clear pendant by Tim Holtz. Then I adjusted the cameo digital stamp to the correct size and printed it on heavy paper. I colored the image with Copic markers. Then I glued the colored image to my pendant with Glossy Accents. The glitter around the edges is Distress Stickles. I was able to stick the charms directly in the wet Stickles. This was lots of fun and very easy to make.

New Digital Stamp Challenge Blog is Born

So starting this Tuesday I will be posting two vintage digital stamps every week for artists on my new challenge blog Digital Tuesday. Hopefully you'll be inspired to get out your supplies and create and participate. Go to Digital Tuesday to get more information about participating and about being a guest hostess.

The People Have Spoken



Here are the resuts of last weeks poll. Should I start posting B&W images for use as digital stamps? 40 of you voted. 39 voted yes and 20 voted yes to a challenge blog using vintage digital stamps. So now I actually have to think about how to go about this. Do I start another blog for the digis? Hmm..... So while I am thinking here is another digital stamp.

Digital Stamp Card



So several people have asked what is a digital stamp. I made this card using one of my adorable B&W images and printed paper. A digital stamp printed it on a printer and colored it like any other stamped image. I used copic markers. You can resize it according to your needs for each project. Those of you who love digital stamps I would love for you to create a card or tag using this image and I will post it here on the site. Also remember to vote in the poll on the sidebar if you want to see more vintage digital stamps and or a digital stamp weekly challenge.

Saturday Image Bonus 87
















So I am working my was down the request list from SIB 75 and Rush 888 asked for pictures of little girls...not portraits, but caught in the moment of being a child. Well I have very few photos like this. But I do have wonderful illustrations from books. All of these images are from The Child's Book of Prayer from 1947. They are all fun innocent pictures of children. The artist Pelagie Doane has captured the carefree times of childhood. Don't forget to participate in the poll on the side bar. It is described in the post below.

Poll

I have a poll on the sidebar. I have been asked by several of you to start posting vintage digital stamps. I do have quite a few images that I could use for this purpose. They would be B&W line images. If I did start posting these they would be in addition to the Saturday Image Bonus images. I would post them on a different day. I am also toying with the idea of posting them in conjunction with a challenge blog "Digital Tuesday"( not sure what day it will be). I would post the images and everyone would try to come up with different cards or artwork. The beauty of digital stamps is you can resize them to fit your projects and also color them. Please take time to vote so I know if there is any interest. As always thanks for all your feedback and support. It makes this so much fun for me.
