Can it already be December 12th? Wow - just 13 more days 'til Christmas! I finally did some soldering - I've had no time to do it - but I had to get in there to finish some ornaments. Every year I do about 10 ornaments for a friend of mine. I make them from the photo cards people send her. I would have never thought of that - they make a great gift! So...while I was making those for her, I created some for myself.
I used vintage images from Nicecrane Designs. The santa above is from the Vintage Santa Vol IV collection. And the santa below is actually from a tea bag pocket from the Christmas Tea Bag Wrapper collection. I just used the picture portion instead of the whole pocket.
And this has to be one of the cutest vintage images ever!
I love it! I'm going to make it into a Christmas card next year. It is one of the images from Vintage Christmas Collection I.
Here is a preview of the sets I used:
Such pretty vintage images! Thanks for stopping by!
These are just beautiful Lori...are they actually metal surrounds which you have soldered? They look fab! Merry Christmas,

These are lovely. You even brought back a delightful Christmas memory with these ornaments. When my dear sister-in-law Audrey was alive, her cards always had a picture of a round and jolly Santa . . . every year a new card and a different picture of the jolly roly-poly elf.
ReplyDeleteI was three years old when my brother and Audrey married . . . so she was always more of a sister than in-law. Thank you for a memory, that I never want to forget.
I found you on Lisa's blog, You Make Me Ink, and I am so glad that I did. Come on over and visit.
I am having my first Give-Away.
