Free Antique Album Images

A few years ago, my antique dealer friend, Rose, acquired an 1800s photo album that I insisted she let me scan before she sold it. I just remembered today that I had these images hiding in my computer files. I pulled them out and filled in the photo areas to remove the portraits. Enjoy these digital images free of charge and make something beautiful!
NOTE: You may notice that there are two duplicate floral designs, but each were scanned from different pages of the album.
Here are just some ideas you do with these great graphics:

  • Use as mats for photos before framing.
  • Use as a frame for a beautiful poem.
  • Create a unique birthday card for a friend.
  • Add photo or wording and print onto fabric to create a family quilt or photo pillows.
  • Add photo or wording and decopage onto a serving tray.
  • Add photos or wording, adhere to cardboard, tape or stitch each together creating a freestanding accordion-fold piece
  • Crop floral images for use on many projects including blog headers, greeting cards, scrapbooking and collage.

Camp Crafty 2009

I almost forgot to mention that the troops left today for their annual gold country camping trip which marks the beginning of another Cathe Holden Camp Crafty: Isolation 2009. That’s right, I’ve got the house to myself for several days! If you’re a mom of young children, you know how this is gold in itself. Although I will miss everyone, I enjoy the peace and quiet. I’ve got a few design projects due but no big plans on what to craft just yet. I’ll think of something. I don’t imagine I’ll be quite as ambitious as last year though, but who knows…

Elephant Corners

Could this be any cuter? Uhm, I don’t think so. From the jacket of a very, very old book, this image would be darling for a birthday invitation, scrapbook image or as the matting for a picture frame. {Free for you to use!}
