What Can You Do With Old Photographs?

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

I made a beautiful baby shower card yesterday.  I took a lovely, sturdy, large, rustic-looking Christmas card that I had left over as the base of the card.  I used scrapbook materials as a source for layers and little tags I could glue inside and outside of the card.

I think it turned out very pretty.

Mother with Baby

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I’m really drawn to old photographs and postcards depicting mothers and their babies.  I’m not exactly sure of the time frame of this one, but the men and the building in the background are nearly as interesting as anything else in the photo.

Baby with a bunny

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I love, love, love this picture.  This baby is sitting on a soft pillow in what looks like a cage.  See the chicken-type wire behind her?  She is reaching out to pet a bunny but looks sort of skeptical.  There are not notes on the back of this photograph postcard.

Baby Wearing Ring

Isn’t this baby sweet?  This baby is also wearing a ring.  I zoomed in a bit so you can see.

This picture was taken in New Haven, Connecticut.
