Today is my day to back up my photos. I need to do this so badly. Have you backed yours up lately?
If you checked my blog last week you may have seen that I went with a good friend of mine to several antique stores and hit Goodwill, as well, looking for goodies to use on projects. I was thrilled with some of the fabulous things I found. I am giong to have to make time to go do that more often! Anyway, I found some amazing postcards at one of the antique stores here. I used one of them to create this gift box.

I also found a great chorus book at Goodwill for 69 cents. I cut a couple of flowers out of one of the pages and inked the edges with pink ink.
I also found a great schoolbook at one of the shops. It had all of those fabulous vintage images that a teacher like me love. :) I cut one of the images out of the book and used it on this card.
Hope these images have inspired you to do a little antique shopping. :) Have a great day!
Hugs,

These are so cool! Love how you incorporated those elements into your projects.
oh you have found such good schtuff! love the vintage images - I'll have to keep an eye out on my next antiquing trip! :)
So cute! I'm ready to go antiquing...with a whole different perspective.
Your creations are just wonderful! My Dh and I are always hunting in thrift stores for goodies like this! I love the antique stores but then the items cost more.
Wow, have they ever! I am definitely going to look at stuff with a new light now. I've never thought of looking for old books and songbooks like that. And what cool stuff you can make with it all. I LOVE these projects, Lisa! Such cute stuff!
Great ideas with your vintage finds!
lisa, these are awesome! i love them...so creative.
Very cool! I had no idea that I could find scrapbooking stuff antiquing.
Great job, girlfriend! Little did I know that that "junk" would turn into such awesome and elegant projects! So cool!
