Oldies but Goodies - Doodle Pantry Blog Hop


Welcome to Doodle Pantry's Blog Hop!!  
We are featuring some "oldies but goodies"!!  

Vintage and retro are in!!  I'm okay with that, but doesn't it make you feel old when you see something you had just a few years ago and it is now retro or vintage??!!  I remember my grandmother laughing at folks getting so excited about antiques... she wondered why they were so eager to buy the "old things" that she had been so happy to get rid of!    Some of the showcased images are vintage style but all are older stamps that we want to take another look at!!

*Laurie has put the featured images 
(and a few more)
in the Digi Grab Bag for 25% off*

If you arrived from Ellen's blog, you are on track.  If not, you can start at the Doodle Pantry Challenge Blog or use my list below to see all the wonderful creations by our talented team!!

I used MS and Spectrum Noir markers, cut my image with Spellbinders Labels Four, embossed the white with D'vine Swirls, inked the edges, and added a bow.

My images are from Vintage Place SettingA table set for Christmas with china and silver is sooooo beautiful!!  I love to use my Royal Albert Tranquillity china that has a gold edge like this plus some tiny flowers, so this set just called to me!  :) 

Can you relate??  Saw this on FB and it is so true!!

Great Thank You card. I really like the way you added just a touch of color on the edge of your embossing. The snow drops card a couple posts down is done the same way and is just beautiful.

Wow this is really cool. I would never have guessed how to really use this set of images but you sure made it look spectacular. Great for a party card. Or an invitation to a party. thanks for sharing.
