For my project this week I used book pages from an old dictionary and the vintage ad frames V2 from THATB to create little ATCs (artist trading cards) for each family member/group. I think they would look great on a handmade family tree, in a heritage book or as a fun ornament! They were super fun and easy to make!
I printed the vintage ad frames out, cut them out and inked the edges in tea dye and walnut stain distress inks. I stitched some book pages to the edges of the frames using my sewing machine and cut them with small scallop scissors to add a cleaner look.
After that I printed my photos in sepia small enough to fit on the card and decorated the cards with vintage buttons and other fun embellishments.
A fun family tree display....
I hope you were inspired by my project today and will join us for challenge 57 at Papercraft Star!
I appreciate the time you take to leave comments.
Have a wonderful week!

Wow. You really made those little frames come alive !! I have looked at this like 30 times - I am so impressed, Regan !
I'm sure this will be cherished for generations! Each piece is a little treasure of it's own. Love the frames!

Regan, this is by far the most creative project I have seen from you yet! Ok, I say that a lot about your work, but this one just stands out! What an amazing keepsake for your family! I love what you did with the atc tags and mixing them up with black and white photos. Looks so vintage and nostalgic!
Wow! LOVE the look :-) I guess I'd better get aquainted with THATB :-)
