Vibrant Antique Victorian Ephemera Free Clipart for Making Journals, Cards, Scrapbooking.

 Hi everyone! So glad you found my blog. I hope you like the pictures today. Lately I have been looking for old advertising trade cards online. Very happy that I continue to find libraries that have digitised old scrapbooks from the 1800's. Most are full of trade and greeting cards artfully arranged. There are visiting or calling cards plus lovely Victorian die-cut scraps scattered about. Can't help but wonder who the person was that made them. I am just a tad obsessed with finding and "collecting" these little digital treasures. Very grateful to the libraries who make the scrapbooks and collections available online for educational use. My only frustration is that only a small number of Victorian and Edwardian scrapbooks have been digitised. I love spending a ridiculous amount of time organising, cleaning and repairing any imperfections. So many people are making greeting cards, journals, family photo albums and other paper crafts now.  I hope you find todays images enjoyable, pretty and useful for your personal projects. Much love to each and everyone of you, Louise

4 Sisters,to many art supplies and a Victorian die-cut swallow

Hi everyone! Welcome to my little blog.

      I have been working with my three sisters for my mom's 80th birthday. After all the planning and discussions there is only about a month left. A little panic is setting in as I am making her a gift. Will it be done in time?! It has to be. So in a month I will have pictures of the project that has taken so much of my time. What an adventure. 4 sisters with 4 opinions and ideas. My youngest sister has to deal with 3 older (and bossy) sisters. She is holding her own and handling admirably the conflicts that have taken place.She is so sweet and thoughtful. My middle sister is the one who should have a blog! Very crafty and artistic. I really enjoy discussing the surprize gift with her. She keeps me enthused.

       My middle sister  made a comment about the tendacy to hoard art and craft supplies. Now really, there is no such thing!  We all "need" lots of glue, paper,fabric, bits of lace paint etc..to make into our creations. How many of you have a desk or even a roomful of treasures to work with.

       My this is a chatty post! I need to add to your supply of pretty images.  A lovely Victorian die-cut swallow and three Edwardian floral cards are todays pictures. Do you have any requests? If so just ask and I will do my best to find just what you are looking for.
      Enjoy and create somthing beautiful,  Much love Louise

Victorian Die-cut Scrap Booking Pictures. Free Clipart of Fans, Doves, Bird Cages, Little GirlS in Frilly Lace Bonnet, Castle

Hi everyone! For some reason I like old Victorian die-cut scraps. What a nice lady like activity finding pictures to arrange into a book. The Victorians would fit right in with our contemporary scrap booking and paper craft trends. My scrap book is in my computer! The hunting and gathering of pictures to "cut" and "paste" is what I have come to like. Even more than making a physical scrap book album. Finding surviving old albums is treat offering a glimpse into someone's life over a hundred years ago. The scraps in today's post have been cleaned up a little to restore the colors and any tears. Being well over 100 years old they are free for your use.

Glad you stopped by for a visit.

Much love to each and everyone of you, Louise
