SPRING CROP 2011 - CHALLENGE 11 - Vintage Love

[anja_wade]

For this challenge, create either a layout or a mini-album with the theme "Vintage Love." This does not need to be the title of the layout/album, it just needs to be the inspiration for the subject. Your layout/album must meet the following criteria:
1. at least 5 photos
2. journaling related to the theme (i.e. why you love this thing or things)
3. "vintage" accents and/or embellishments
Here are some ideas:
Do you collect a certain kind of antique object?
Do you love vintage clothing?
Do you have some really old things in your house passed down through the generations?
Do you have a thing for old movies?
Does listening to oldies remind you of a certain person?
Do you have a collection of old family photos that are special to you?
All those could qualify as vintage things that you love!

I'm actually going to put my mini-album in a response to this thread - there are a TON of pictures!

Please submit your response to the challenge by 22nd May, 8pm Eastern. Simply post your layout/creation as a reply to the challenge post. We will decide on the winners and announce on the forum shortly after. Prizes for this crop will range from a variety of scrapbooking products, and gift certificates from our store. Thank you for playing along and good luck!

You've inspired me Anja.

I started this mini last year for my young cousin.
She's turned 15 this month and much younger than the rest of us. Having grown up very close to the family, including my great grandma who didn't pass until I was 15. Hattie has missed out on all this. So I have made this for her by stitching old book pages together.

And Ifinally made th insides last night.





I'm working on the last page with a photo of our grandparents as we remember them and I'm trying to find a photo of the 4 kids together. (our 2 Dad's with their 2 siblings).

Thanks Anja.
