I found this fun book at the flea market on Sunday.  It is called The Girl Who Sat by the Ashes from 1919.   I challenge you to make something amazing with one of these images and post it here in the comments section.

19th Century Images

Here are two very old images.  The magazines they came from are very frail and I had to do some repair work to the images.  Please take the challenge and make something amazing with these images.  Remember to post a link to your creations in the comments section so we can all be inspired.

This is from a 130 year old Peterson's magazine

From an 1862 Godey's magazine

 This week I am using images from a very old recipe booklet called Favorite Recipes: Save Time and Money put out by Lydia Pinkham.  There are some great graphics I will post here and some fun ads I will be posting  on Clearly Vintage this week.

Two Images from a Swiss Book

This week we have images from a 1921 edition of Gritli's Children by Johanna Spyri. Johanna Spyri also wrote Heidi. I found this book last week at the flea market along with 6 more wonderful books.   Each one of those books are one hundred years old or more. Make sure to check my other blog Saturday Image Bonus for some color plates from this book.

These images were extremely hard to clean up.  The first one I would clean up and then after saving all the flaws would reappear.  My daughter Michaela cleaned up the second one and she patiently worked on it for a half and hour. 

Home Sweet Home

Here are a few more drawings from the Fashion Service magazine. I tried to alter the second one to be more of a line drawing but was not very successful.  That is the third image.  Have a wonderful Sunday.

I have had this second image scanned and repaired for awhile but because of the quality I have not posted it.  It is so cute so I just had to post it today.  Hopefully she is ok to use in a small format.

Happy New Year Everyone!

A Wall

A fun wall from the Yourself and Your House Wonderful book.

Digital Two For Tuesday 67

This week's images are from a really interesting book from 1913 called Yourself and Your House Wonderful.  The book is for parents and teachers to raise healthy children.  This week our hostess is the very talented paper artist,Claudine.  She has created two beautiful cards using this weeks images. I love how with two similar images she has created two cards for very different occasions.

Simple card

For my first card, I made a clean and simple card. I thought this house image would be perfect for "we've moved" cards. I simply printed the image, cut it out with an oval Nestabilities die, then mounted it on a black oval shape. For the base of the card, I ran it through a embossing folder from Stampin Up. I completed the card by adding a computer-generated sentiment and a few black rhinestones. These "we've moved" cards would be fast and easy to "mass-produce."

Holiday Card

For this card I wanted to create a holiday/winter scene. I printed the house, colored it with Copic markers, then used Tim Holtz distress inks to distress the edges. To create the winter feel, I added Flower Soft snow to the roof, bushes, and trees. The papers used are Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, and Deck the Halls DSP by Stampin Up. I cut out the green panel with a Nestabilites die then ran it through a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. I completed the card by adding a ribbon, snowflake charm, sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers.

Two Homes

Two drawing of homes for you to play with from the 1920's.  One is from a women's magazine and the other from a children's book.
