Some Images for Father's Day


I will be posting over the next few weeks some images from a few Popular Mechanics magazines I picked up the Flea market today.  I love the early PM magazines because they have great ads and projects.  My favorite ads are the Harley Davidson ones.   So if you are a Harley fan you are in for a treat.  These are from November 1929.

A few days ago Edwina an exciting and talented paper artist sent me an email with this beautiful recipe card she made for her niece using one of the images from Digital Two for Tuesday.  I really liked her use of color and the whimsical additions of the milk and cookies.  I loved it so much I asked her if I could share it with you.  You can see this project and much more at Edwina's Creations.  Thank you for sharing Edwina.
Here is the original image

Digital Two for Tuesday 128



Both of these images are from vintage seed packages that I purchased on line a few years ago.  I posted two versions.  One more detailed than the other.

I need to work on my vegetable garden this week or we will not have fresh tomatoes this summer.

Baking Images


I love these cute little girl images from this 1920's Baker's Extract booklet.  They make me want to bake a cake.

Digital Two For Tuesday 127


I hit the mother load at the flea market and found 29 different vintage magazines.  This week I have two images from a pamphlet from the Baker Extract Company that I found at the flea market.  It looks like it is from the 1920's but there is no date.  I will be posting a bunch from this pamphlet this week so be sure to check back here and on my other blog Clearly Vintage.

Everyday Life


Both of these images are from the 1926 Ladies Home Journal I got at the flea market last week.  I love the fine details in these images of everyday life.

Still Experimenting

I am still looking for that perfect program to make stamps out of colored images. This is from an old valentine's card. I used Photosketcher and Pixelmator to make this digital stamp. Please let me know what you think about this little kilt boy.

 This is a Mother's Day card I made for my scottish mother-in-law.  She is going to love this card.

Light the Way

These four girls complete the images from my February 1895 Delineator magazine.  They would be fun to print alone or together.  I left them together to give you the choice.

Digital Two for Tuesday 126

I love these two images of little girls dressed for bed.  I keep wondering what they are looking for.  Perhaps their lost youth as my mom use to say.  Both images are from the magazine I have been posting from over the last few weeks.  A treasure of images from the 1895 Delineator magazine.
