A few days ago Edwina an exciting and talented paper artist sent me an email with this beautiful recipe card she made for her niece using one of the images from Digital Two for Tuesday. I really liked her use of color and the whimsical additions of the milk and cookies. I loved it so much I asked her if I could share it with you. You can see this project and much more at Edwina's Creations. Thank you for sharing Edwina.

Baking Images
I love these cute little girl images from this 1920's Baker's Extract booklet. They make me want to bake a cake.

Digital Two For Tuesday 127
I hit the mother load at the flea market and found 29 different vintage magazines. This week I have two images from a pamphlet from the Baker Extract Company that I found at the flea market. It looks like it is from the 1920's but there is no date. I will be posting a bunch from this pamphlet this week so be sure to check back here and on my other blog Clearly Vintage.

Recipe Challenge Day 1
Next week will be our one year anniversary. So in honor of that occasion I will be posting from Monday to Friday vintage cookbook images which our guest designers have used to make wonderful recipe books or cards. Each day we will showcase a different international designer and more images. Be sure to check back everyday and collect all the images. I hope you will be inspired to make a recipe book for a teacher or a bride and share it with us.
Our first hostess in Lenet. Lenet has made for us a beautiful vintage recipe box. I love how she makes the images blend with the page. Here is here bio in her own words.
"My Name is Lenet Mos. I live with my husband, two kids, and two ginger tom cats in the Netherlands. I’m a stay at home mom and have always been creative at some way. I discovered scrapbooking about 4 years ago. I started making cards in July 2009. At the moment I’m totally into card making. I think you can say I’m a bit addicted to it. Every spare moment I have, I spend on being creative, I love being creative there is so much more I want to do,but there are not enough hours in a day.
I used a bare elements treasure chest from Creative Imaginations. I decorated it with paper from K&Company,some lace and I distressed it with tea dye distressing ink from Ranger. The recipe label at the box is a stamp from Waltzing Mouse.

Digital Two for Tuesday 37
We are expecting snow again today. So I thought I would warm up your day with two beautiful images of children cooking. They are both from a vintage magazine from the 20's. Our guest designer this week Maxine has done an amazing job working with these images. Her playful style mixed with vintage is an award winning look. I hope you will be inspired to take part in this weeks challenge and use one of these images in one of your projects. Please make sure you post a link in the comments section so we can all enjoy you work.
Here is Maxine our guest designer's bio in her own words.
"From a very young age I have been interesting in 'making things' - this was channeled into sewing as I grew up, specifically tailoring, making all my own clothes, and then sewing for the family when they arrived, this also included embroidery where appropriate on the clothing. Later I took up embroidery to a much greater degree, then changed tack and started to make bobbin lace in addition to knitted and crocheted lace.
I first started stamping ten years ago when a friend introduced me to the craft as part of her launching a stamp making company. I had a few lessons from her, and then puddled, along pretty much on my own, using magazines and the occasional stamp or craft show for instruction and inspiration for the next eight years. Then I found Splitcoast Stampers and we got broadband, and the revolution started! It is very interesting seeing how my card making has evolved as I have kept a fairly comprehensive gallery of my work on the computer - I cringe when I look at some of my early cards!
I am basically a CAS card maker, but can add the layers and embellishments when I am in the mood.
Cora said that she gives us images to work outside our comfort zones. I enjoy a challenge so I was not unduly worried, until these images arrived. I realised then that I have not had 'people images' in my cards other than one stamp image that I have!! I find it is better not to try and work on a challenge immediately, so I let my mind 'simmer' over them for a while, then inspiration finally arrived!
I coloured the images using chalks, and to highlight the children I used a blender pen to strengthen the colours.
In the card with just the boy cooking, to give a focal point I printed the image twice and cut the boy out and popped him up on foam tape. I had come across the quote and could not resist using it here. The edges of both the image and the quote were sponged with Tim Holtz distress ink - Tea Dye. The green striped paper was sponged with Memento Bamboo Leaves. The brown layer was also sponged with the Tea Dye ink, and the ribbon and star clip added before being mounted on the dark, Evergreen base card.
The 'window' concept arrived out of the blue, and thankfully it was not too difficult to construct - again because I had given myself time to think things through. The lace I used for the 'curtain' was some I had in my stash, and I found it framed the window perfectly. I mounted the finished window scene on the black for definition, as I find the black can make an image 'pop', and I wanted it to be clearly defined from the background. I left the base of the black card long and placed the wide lace across that, adhered the whole onto the base of craft, having sponged the edges with the Tea Dye ink, which softened the whole look. The black half pearls were added last."

Digital Two for Tuesday 21
This week I have chosen two fun retro images from the twenties for you to play with. Our amazing designer Darlene has created two cards using them. I love her use of color in her designs and her mixture of papers.
Her first creation (Enjoy the Simple Things in Life) is A-6 in size ... papers used are SU Very Vanilla, Garden Green & Creative Memories Green Gingham. She used a Nestabilities scallop square die to cut the Garden Green panel then outlined the scallops using a Gold Pilot Marker. After coloring my image using Prismacolor markers and Prisma pencils, she layered it in behind the Garden Green panel using dimensional tape to pop up the green panel. Her sentiment is by Hero Arts and after stamping with Versafine black ink and embossing with Detail Clear embossing powder, She cut out the pieces and attached them in r
andom.
Her second creation is also A-6 in size. Papers used are SU Very Vanilla which she has sponged the edges using Ranger Antique Linen distress ink, Garden Green and Daisy D's designer paper. Her image was colored with Prismacolor markers and Prisma pencils. She distressed the edges and added a band of cotton lace ribbon from JoAnn's. The spoon, fork & seasoning can are from a Crafty Secrets set called Kitchen Classics. They were stamped using Versafine black ink ... the seasoning can was also colored using Prismacolor markers and they were all cut out using my Fiskars swivel craft knife. Creative Memories silver and copper pens were used to color in the pot & utensils on the stove.
