Tag Tuesday-Postage

For Tag Tuesday this week Louise chose postage as the theme. If you look closely you will find my postage stamp between the photo collage and the word passaporto.

ATC for the Teacher

This ATC is for the talented Mary Green who put a lot of time and effort into making Your Vintage Gluebook class a huge success.

I lined the sleeve for the ATC with a page from a vintage German novel. The paper for the sleeve is a copy of an endpaper from an old book.

Using a nestability die, I cut a window to spotlight the image on the card.

I then slipped the ATC and its sleeve into a protective plastic sleeve and added an identification band to make sure Mary knows it is for her.

ATC Swap

I made these ATCs for a swap with members of the Your Vintage Gluebook class.

The main image is from Land of Nod Studio's.

Tag Tuesday-Men

Meet Jacob Fairdealer seller of tea and coffee.

The background for Mr. Fairdealer was made by adding linen, brushed corduroy, and vintage photo distress inks to the tag, stamping with a Studio 490 fly speck bg, and topping it off with Glimmer Mist in pecan. I then embossed the tag with one of Tim's new Texture Fades embossing folders and sanded. Other stamps from Artful Illusions and Pink Paisley.

You can see all of the tags for the Tag Tuesday Challenge on Louise's blog Kard Krazy.

And More Gluebook Pages

Here are two more pages that will be included in special keepsake booklets I am making for Christmas presents.

The frame around my grandmother's picture is from The Sum of all Crafts blog. No digital work here....all done by the snip and cut method.

I'll have to say that I cheated a little bit here and used the beautiful papers from Graphic 45's Le' Romantique collection. The photo is of my maternal grandparents and is dated 1921.
