1804

Sometimes, something simple works the best. An antique document dated 1804, a vintage postage stamp, rubber stamping, and a few fragments of decorative paper.

 

Pink Rose

Brown with a touch of pink. A handwritten document, some old postage stamps, and a scrap of vintage wallpaper.

Scraps

Some rubber stamps, coffee filter, vintage wallpaper, and parts of an old money bag.

 

Birdie

 Birds and ledger paper, two of my favorite things.

Not always a winner

I was experimenting with the background and this collage came out a little darker than I wanted.  Well, not everything has to be a great success.

Collage Time

 I did this collage ages ago and forgot to photograph it. I used some old scrapbook papers, a bingo game and a stamp from Germany

Blue Star

I was going through my stash of playing cards and found this one with the blue star. It goes perfectly with vintage stamps and an international envelope fragment.

Valentine Collage

 Happy Valentine's Day! 

February 2

The background for this collage is a postcard that came with  an issue of Uppercase Magazine. If you don't know about Uppercase Magazine, it's a design magazine published in Canada, full of all sorts of inspiration and interesting articles.

 

No 19

These collages are great for using up some of my scraps. I call this one No 19 because of the scrap of type left from a vintage receipt. If I had planned better, this would be the 19th collage but...

Last of January

 I'm running a little late posting my last collage for January but better late than never.

This collages uses random scraps in shades of teal. The background is from a bingo game, there is a piece of vintage wallpaper and some vintage money.

Calendar Book Collage

Two collages tonight since I am trying to keep up with the calendar.

This collage uses some textured straw fabric, a piece of a Bingo game, hand made papers and a postage stamp.

This one uses a hand print that I did from a hand carved linoleum block on an old letter. I've used this image before on some other collages. I like the black, white and gold together. I still wish the pages didn't get so wrinkly. If I used a glue stick, that would help but I have found that it doesn't last over time and I don't want bits and pieces falling off.
