A little Vintage....

When I saw this old picture of Santa I knew I had to put it on a card.  The wreath is cut from "Joys of the Season". I cut it twice raising the second layer with foam dots. Notice the little heart charm hanging........my daughter was throwing out some old jewellery, so I quickly had a look. I have this huge jar of junk jewellery............I often go through it looking for little things to add to projects I'm creating! The fabric covered button I found on one of my Op shop trips.

  4. Tracey, I just love the look of your card! and all the elements are just fabulous! And your picture taking skills?!! I have to learn to do that!! I just love the combination of the button with the perfectly matching bow, and the heart with the string just add that...(brain death! can't think of that word!) extra!

  12. Oh this is so utterly Beautiful! I just Love Vintage and the extras on it are just perfect! Love the little heart from your daughter's "throw away" stuff. I love to go to yard sales and auctions and get the old jewelry to use on my projects. Also vintage goodies. Sometimes it's the perfect "finishing" touch on your project. Thanks for joining us this week at BBTB2. Hope you join us again.
