Wow - I had no idea that vintage had so much  to do with wine and I was always a wine drinker!!! But it does seem that it does not have to be old to be "Vintage"

 

 

Thought I would share with you today my take on vintage so here are a few layouts:

 

These are old photographs taken before I remember:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here is a layout of me - yes my mother did dress me like this!!!

And here are some vintage syles - I must admit I still like to tear and curl paper:

 

 

 

 

 

I really do not like to scrap with beige and brown and doing the last 2 layouts, I realised that I could introduce colour.

 

I love this last vintagey style layout although the photograph is only a few years old:

 

 

 

So what is VINTAGE??? Well for me it's simply from a previous era or point in time.
