Fun With Vintage Valentines


Vintage Valentines are on of my favorite types of ephemera. In a "Krafternoon" with my knitting buddies, we made several card sized valentine collages and made a garland with them. I use vintage plastic clothes pins to attach my collages onto lace trim . I will show you my collages this month, as they could be used as individual cards/tags as well. Most of them feature vintage valentines (or photo copies of them), faces from old yearbooks, scrapbook paper and embellishments. This is one of them.
See you tomorrow!

Love this idea. I think I have an old year book in the garage. I found it at a thrift store a few years ago and couldn't resist buying it. It would be perfect for a card like this.

Thank for the idea. I have a collection of old Valentine cards that would work.
