Holiday Trio 3

Today I have three more images from children's magazines from the 20's.  They are not line drawings but I just love them to decorate Thanksgiving items.  Perhaps some placecards or votives.  Our guest designer today is Debbie.  Debbie used the images to make this amazing box. I love the addeed touch of buttons to really make the project feel vintage.  Here is here description in her own words.  "I think this could be a perfect box to hold a hostess gift (I'm going to buy a candle for it) or one made up and put at each place with just the boy or girl pilgrim and filled with candy or treats."  Debbie got the template for the box at this site.  Please check our more of Debbie's creative paper projects on her blog The Paper Garden.

A few more images for Thanksgiving.  The top two are from a vintage collection of images for furniture stores to use in advertising.  They are from the early 1920's.  Many of the holiday images I will be posting for Christmas and Thanksgiving are from this collection.

Holiday Trio 1

So in honor of the upcoming holidays I will be posting three vintage holiday images from old ads and books each week ( and who knows maybe a few in between) and featuring a holiday project designed by a guest designer.  This week's host is Bev and she has created an amazing Thanksgiving centerpiece for us to enjoy.  She has really captured the spirit of the holiday with this festive holiday/ Fall centerpiece. 

Here is her bio in her own words. "I am just new to online scrapping since Apr 2009. There are so many sites. My name is Bev Code and I have been scrapping about 3+ years. I am a wife, mother and gramma that loves being retired and now have time to scrap to my heart's content. I did albums for the whole family for Xmas 2009. I live in Conestogo, Ontario and spend some time in Florida where I take my scrapping with me for the extended time.

My project is for Thanksgiving. My wicker basket filled with fun fall coloured fruit and leaves is a great table centre piece. I used the fabulous digital image "native american" and the Celebrate sentiment. She was perfect for the Celebration Tag and the Place Cards. I got to use all the amazing fall colours to copic colour the images. I used cricut to cut the double layered tag...added a few more layers for colour. The Kreaxions Punch #803 was the perfect floral accent, add some brads and ribbon. The finished project is perfect to Celebrate and give Thanks at this time of year."

Thank you Bev for sharing this beautiful project with us.  Catch more of Bev's work on her blog
