Photo Friendly

Hello all... I'm so glad you liked my vintage book board and enjoyed the story of the Russian bride and groom - though I fear it may not be a "happily ever after" ending.


I seem to be on a bit of a run of vintage photo-inspired creations.

 I'm back today to tempt you over to The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog where I'm sharing an art journal page with another photo at its heart.

 All the usual suspects are in place... blues, browns, crackle, book pages, butterflies, and some rusty accents - it's yet another variation on my favourite themes.

 I hope you'll have time to hop over to The Artistic Stamper and check it out while I'm busy with my tax return.

 And I also hope to be able to use my Sunday to return some of your generous visits... as long as it all goes smoothly!!

Everything has the potential to be extraordinary, whether an old photograph, a book, or a life.  If you find it ordinary, you simply need to take a closer look.

    Sounds like quite a gal Alison so I am looking forward to seeing more of her-through your eyes. L9ove journal page and the beautiful flower stamp stands out for me

    Hope the paper work goes well-what a bore for you

    Love Chrissie

    Some things do turn out but the road is full of pot holes and speed bumps. Your page is vintage Alison. Very sophisticated and romantic. I hope things are going well with you tax returns.

    The Darkroom Door image is lovely and it looks so vintage with the paint splattering and I love the wonderful background you created. The fabric and lace are great touches too. Anne xx

    I am finally in January and running out of energy. I too have an early day tomorrow and a crazy busy week. I have so enjoyed this day looking at all of your lovely words and works. I could go on and on about what I loved about the AS post as your project morphed from image to image. I particularly love the watercolor shading. -- ME
