ITEMS for my ATC SWAP

Welcome once again,
I wanted to share the items I used in the "VINTAGE PAPERS"  ATC Swap that Kimberly at ArtJOYstuff  is hosting.
This was a most Challenging Swap for me. I started out with completely the wrong items. I had some tiny Vintage Crocheted Doilies, old buttons, old Vintage Jewelry, photos, wallpaper all laid out. Then I revisited the instructions and it was stated very clearly.
 Your ATCs must use only original vintage papers and/or photographs.
 The only new items allowed are:
 cardboard or matt board for the base
 (none of which should be visible on your finished ATC),
 glue and ink.

So I was back to square one and so thankful I reread the instructions. Funny how you can interpret something and be way off base.

I gathered some items and really didn't have enough small things for this swap. I misplaced a small box of items when I reorganized my space. So my items were limited. Even the old photos were too large. I had to do some searching.

 In the upper left corner are some vintage greeting cards. I got these at an auction and most items were from the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. I used the red roses and cut them for my ATC's . Also a few postage stamps

 The little tattered book above had this page dated 1890.."AT THE FIRESIDE" is the title. This is what I used the the little images and sentiments on my ATC's.

 This cut out is a blank page from the book. Stamped with a Vintage Print Set I got from an auction of a very close friend. I used these on the reverse of the ATC, with typed info inside.

This is some Vintage 1950's Wall Paper a close friend gave me sometime ago. and at the top is a very old doily I cut apart.  I have enjoyed using this wallpaper for many different projects.

 

          And when our weather clears, I am going shopping !  I hope to find some SMALL VINTAGE PAPERS just to have around.  There is another Winter Weather Advisory for our area again tomorrow.

I will post the ATC'S when we have made our swap after February end.  . Hoping you have SUNSHINE and WARM TEMPS.  Just not happening here yet.  Thanks for stopping by.
