Freebie Friday - Vintage Digital Freebie - Boys, Airplanes, & Periscopes

Vintage Digital Freebie
Boys and Airplanes
Curtsey Boutique

I just looked at the calendar and realized I hadn't had a Freebie Friday in MONTHS! Time to remedy that. On my most recent trip to my favorite vintage book store I bought a gag gift catalog from the early 1920's. It has really great images for Halloween and the 4th of July, but also a bunch of little boys playing with toys and pulling pranks. I can never get my hands on enough images for my son's scrapbooks so I thought I share a few with you.

The image above is of two little boys playing with model airplanes like those Charles Lindbergh would fly.

This second image is my favorite of the two. It is an advertisement for Dandy Periscopes  Look at all the fun vignettes just waiting to be cropped and used. I guess little boys got in just as much trouble than as now.


As always feel free to use these for PU, CU, and S4H so long as you link back to the blog or follow us.

Have a great weekend,

2 in 1 Thank you Gift & Card Tutorial by Shellye McDaniel

2 in 1 Thank You Gift and Card
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Shellye McDaniel

We have a wonderful gift idea and tutorial from Shellye this week so pull up a chair and learn along with us.

With the "Wedding" theme from last week still on my mind, I designed a card to act as a Thank You, as well as a little gift!  Perfect for thanking a hostess, bride's maids or anyone who has done something special for you.  Adding a beautiful fabric flower takes a lot of the guess work out of this sweet card and also makes it very quick and easy to put together.

First, you will need one of the beautiful Fabric Flowers from Curtsey Boutique, a flat-back brooch pin and small piece of felt.

Sew (or glue) the pin to the piece of felt and then attach the felt directly to the back of the Fabric Flower using a high-tack fabric glue.

Next, create a background paper to attach your pin to.  For my card, I used a banner die, which measured approximately 3"W x 4"H.  Punch two small holes into the background paper and pin your Fabric Flower through.

Add foam dots to the back of the paper before adding it to the card or to another background paper.  The extra space created by using the foam dots, allows the working parts of the pin to lay flat under the paper.

In finishing, stamp a "thank you" sentiment or whatever you'd like to add to the front of the card.  I also used a bit of Ecru Paper Doily to add some interest and beauty to the top of the banner paper.
