i have another sample from the Our Craft Lounge booth at CHA...i played with lots of Tim Holtz goodness on this one...
i just love adding vintage touches to cards and layouts...in case you hadn't figured that out!!! here i paired papers from Tim Holtz with a piece of an old map and tickets...i found both in a local junk store...
speaking of junk store, maybe a trip this afternoon is in order...Treasures & Junk after lunch...perfect day off!!!
happy creating!

did you enjoy the first day of Our Craft Lounge's Sneak Peek blog hopping??? i sure did! those girls are so creative!!!
for day two, i got to play with Ole St Nick...another of my favorites and i am pretty sure my Christmas cards are going to be made with this set!!!
i just LOVE that little pull toy truck!!! to add a vintage feel i glittered the edges of the tree image and was thrilled to have the perfect card to add a mini vintage light reflector to...the center is a vintage glass bead...the type that were strung on string for garland or on a wire pick that you stuck into your tree...love those simple touches!
