Here are two images from a fun book call Dolls to Make for Fun and Profit by Edith Flack Ackley from the 1930's. 

Digital Two for Tuesday 74

I have had this second image scanned and repaired for awhile but because of the quality I have not posted it.  It is so cute so I just had to post it today.  Hopefully she is ok to use in a small format.

Digital Two for Tuesday 73

Today we have two more sewing images.  These are from a great magazine called Fashion Service from the 20's.  I just realized that it was actually published by the same company Woman's Institute in Scranton, PA that published the pamphlets featured in my posts on Clearly Vintage this week.  I have posted many more sewing images there. 

A Few More of Red

Here are a few more of the Little Red Riding Hood images.  Be sure to check out Clearly Vintage for some great color drawings from the same book.

Little Red Riding Hood

Today and tomorrow I will be posting illustrations of Little Red Riding Hood from various books from the early 1900's. This is from a request I received a few weeks ago from a follower in France. I just so happens I have four books with the story of Little Red Riding Hood in them. I will be posting the color illustrations at Clearly Vintage and the lined drawings here. So be sure to check Clearly Vintage for more fun images.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Holiday Trio 13

Today our final Holiday Trio guest designer is Olga.  She is also from Russia.  I thank her for her patience as we had great difficulties emailing each other and lots of confusion with two Olgas from Russia hosting at the same time.  Olga has made an amazing book for all her holiday memories.  There are lots of details and some of the images I didn't recognize with all her intricate coloring.  Here is a description in Olga's words.
 " It is a mini album with my little daughter Sasha's winter photos, colored pictures related to winter and the New Year's. Each spread has the lyrics from Russian song "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree". This song is the one I sing for Sasha when I rock her to sleep. Here are the pages with the Digital Tuesday images.  The last is empty.  I want use it for a photo for the new year. "

And the song:


The forest raised a Christmas tree,
Twas silent and serene
In winter and in summer
It was slender and so green.

The wind sang it a lullaby:
Sleep Christmas tree, sleep tight!
The snow was making clothes for it:
It was a pretty sight!

A trembling bunny himself
Beneath its arms so wide;
The hungry wolf just passed him by,
A lovely place to hide!

Some sleigh bells rang throughout the woods,
The snow was crisp and clean,
A horsey brought a forester
To hew that tree so green.

And now it comes to visit us,
With lights and garlands bright,
While all the children dance and sing
To greet it with delight!

Thank you to all the terrific guest designers for Holiday Trio.  Each one of you made such original and challenging projects.  I would never been able to keep up with all the assignments if you all had not been so great.  Everyone got their assignments in early or on time.  I never worried once that all my followers would be disappointed. 

I hope you are all enjoying your holidays.  Unfortunately my daughter and I had a fun road trip planned but we got 15 inches of snow instead and are house bound for a day or so.  At least I didn't have to get up and figure out how to get to the office in all this snow.  I am looking out the window now deciding if I want to start shovelling or make something wonderful with all these images.  HMMM...  Not much of a choice!

Happy Holidays to all of you who make keeping this blog such a pleasure.

Holiday Trio 12

Today we have a very special guest designer from Russia.  She has created a beautiful ornament using some of the images in the last few weeks.  Here is her bio in her own words.

"Hi! My name is Olga. I'm 25. I'm from Omsk, Siberia, Russia. In my spare time I enjoy cardmaking and creating interesting scrap objects.

I made a decoration for the Christmas tree. I decorated the box and created a foundation for the house. The two pictures are printed on the clear film, which looks like windows.

More details can be found in my blog http://angelic-page.blogspot.com/ "

Holiday Trio 9

Our guest designer this week is the talented Barbara Diane. She has made a beautiful card using an image posted last week. I love the leaf details and her coloring of the image. She has transformed this vintage image into a delightful card.

Here is Barbara Diane's description of her card.  "The image was printed on white CS and was colored with markers and the background was done in 4 shades of chalk – beige/brown/blue with a touch of yellow. The image was then cut out along the outside of the arch and attached to a 3-layer card front of yellow/blue/black CS – of which I first outlined the edges of the blue and yellow in black to coordinate with the black edge of the image. I used a punch for the 3 different shapes of leaves and then outlined each individual leaf in black and drew free hand the lines on each leaf. I then punched small circles for the berries and outlined them in black. The leaves/berries were added to the card using glue dots to give them dimension. "

Holiday Trio 8

 This week I have three more cute images from advertising graphics magazines from the 1920's.  I just love the style of the people in these images. 

Our guest designer this week is the talented Pauline.  She has created a beautiful box using the Santa image from last week.  All of the the guest designers were charged with making a project from any of the images I will be posting in the next few weeks and Pauline done an amazing box using this wonderful holiday image.

Here is Pauline's bio in here own words.  "I live in the south east of Australia, in the town where I was born and raised. I am a cardmaker, scrapbooker, stitcher, and beader. I enjoy tackling all sort of challenges and styles in my papercrafts... but my current favourites would be using digital images (colouring with chalks, markers, watercolours, pencils) and using vintage photographs (with beads, buttons, lace, ribbon etc). I also create cards using stitching and embroidery, and beading, and often employ those into my other creations. I tend to favour uncomplicated styles/layouts. I also make jewellery, and favour vintage styles - my pieces are individually crafted, and no two are the same.  Although I am lucky enough to be able to sell some of my cards and jewellery at a local market, and by special order, I love to share my creations as gifts to friends and family.

I would love to thank Cora for the opportunity to create for her blog. It is a joy and a pleasure to do so! The creation I share here with you is something that I would not normally do - I don't often create 3D projects, so it was a joy to create and share something different with you .... "

Here are this week's images.  Won't you take the challenge and create something to share with all of us!!
