Here are the last two pages sent to Mary for her vintage gluebook page swap.
This page has more of a nature theme. An old book page, music, map, postage stamps, torn papers and a butterfly are added around the bird images. I like the overall look of this page.
Here is the next one:
The girl's image is a copy of an old postcard I purchased in a shop on Gaylord Street in Denver, CO. (lots of little shops to poke around in there.) Background is a combination of paper provided by Mary in one of her online classes, an endpaper from an old Readers Digest condensed book and some snips of music. Added the frame and butterfly to focus in on the main image.
When Mary has received and sorted all pages, we will receive six pages from six different people. These will be bound into the covers of a vintage book with binder rings. Mary will also include some other vintage ephemera for our personal use. I am excited to see the pages I will get from others!
Enjoy your day!
This vintage gluebook page features a couple on their wedding day.
I used some more wallpaper sample pieces for the background. Bits of music and old text. In one of Mary's classes she taught us how to make our own paper by combining two or more - the butterflies and music along the right side are the result of this.
Have a great day!
Here are two more pages that were sent off to Mary at Green Paper for her swap:
And:
For the first one, I used an image and some background papers that Mary had provided in one of her online classes. The map of Paris and the Grand Opera House ticket were in my stash. A bit of wallpaper again. On most of my pages I made use of butterflies cut from a papillon page gleaned from an old encyclopedia. The colors are soft and I could match them to the colors I was using on my pages.
The background for the second page uses wallpaper samples, an old book page and some old music. Don't remember where the image of the pretty lady is from. I fussy cut some wallpaper flowers to "sit" her in and to embellish the page. Word phrase was cut from an old children's book. The postage stamps pick up some of the colors from the rest of the page.
I really enjoyed the process of making these pages! I had forgotten just how relaxing it is just using scissors, glue and odd bits of papers to create an interesting scene.
Thanks for visiting. Will be back with the other pages later in the week.
Mary Green is currently hostessing a swap of vintage glue book pages. I decided at the last minute to join in with the fun. Here is one of my pages:
The pages are required to be 5 x 7 inches. I was given two old wallpaper sample books awhile back and decided to use some of the papers on my pages. For this particular background I used a portion of an endpaper from a discarded library book that looks like spider webs. Then I added some strips of a light blue wallpaper. The image is one I have had for a long time. She looks like a "housewife" to me. I also used an old handwritten recipe and some milk coupons. So, she likes to cook, save money on milk and dust away the cobwebs in her house! LOL
We had to make six pages for the swap; I made seven so that Mary could have one too. I will be posting the others every other day or so.
Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend.
