Sunday Images

To amazing images from the Sunday book from 1892.  It is a book filled with poems and stories to entertain the young on a Sunday afternoon.  It is 120 years old but the interior pages are still beautiful.  My sister is a violin maker and a cat lover.  The bottom image will make a great birthday card for her.

Digital Two for Tuesday 140

This weekend I found a sweet book called Sunday from 1892. The inside is filled with hand drawings to illustrate the many stories and poems it contains. Both of these images are from that book. Also be sure to stop back this week for an exciting announcement.





This is a card I made using this image. The sentiment is from Studio 490. I doodled around the edge of the window I placed the sentiment in. The lace is on of my vintage scraps from the flea market.

Berries for Edwina

I had a special request a few weeks ago for berries from one of my biggest fans Edwina.  So I got out one of my old seed catalogues from the the late 1800's and found these in a Maule catalogue from 1893.  

Add caption

Below are the two cards that Edwina created with the images.  You can see her post on her blog Edwina's Creations.  Be sure to look around at Edwina's blog while you are there.  She is an extremely talented artist with a diverse style.  I love to look through her blog for inspiration.
