vintage find…

hi everyone!  how has the new year been for you so far?  we’ve been working on the house and I haven’t had a lot of time to spend in my room.  but, a friend just bought a new old home and I made a card for her.

since her house is very old, I used papertrey’s vintage finds stamp (button boutique) and along with pti’s welcome home-(a wreath for all seasons).  the lock is melissa frances and that key is really vintage—straight from an antique shop.  the cute papers are pebbles, and that is a girls paperie sticker under the key.  some seam binding finishes it off.

thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautiful card for your friend, Lynn! I really like your vintage key and the lock. I bet you are as tired as me, if you have been working on the house. I decided to wait on painting the dining room until the next time David is off. One room wore me out and it will take me awhile to get some things coming from the computer room sorted out and put away. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
