EGG-zactly - VINTAGE VALENTINE IMAGE

I have shared a great number of images of my own Valentine's here in the past, a number of those posts were taken down when I was trying to resolve some site issues.   So if you have been following me for sometime you may see images that you have already saved as I try to add them back.  I have added the Label feature (look a bit further down on the right side) so you can easily find what is available.

This is a new image, a sweet little chickee that I found this last weekend at a local flea market.  Enjoy!

VINTAGE VALENTINE POSTCARDS - CIRCA 1910

These are some of my favourites for incorporating into a simple tag, card or an ATC, from my own collection.

CHLOE PRESTON ARTICULATED VALENTINES 1910- 1920

A couple of images from my own collection.  The little girl has "feet" on a wheel which you "walk" her with.  The feet can't really be captured on a scan but not entirely necessary for use as an image.  I adore the cat what a mischievous look on his face!  His awkward looking front legs move about.   Enjoy!

CHLOE PRESTON HONEYCOMB VALENTINE - 1908

If you have been fortunate enough to have a few vintage valentines in your collection then you will want to check out the Vintage Valentine Museum!  This is a wonderful resource for finding out more about your treasures.  I do have a few Chloe Preston's in my own collection, I do adore her wide eyed characters and scenes but this image is courtesy of the Vintage Valentine Museum.

VALENTINE SHADOW BOX AND VINTAGE IMAGE

Most holidays I try to craft something for the grands or at least a special project for each of the four families.  I started on these the week after Christmas knowing I had limited time once January came.

I had saved the boxes ( 6.5 long x 1 deep) sometime ago thinking they were perfect for a small shadow box.  I used a lightweight paper (not card stock) to cover the box.  If I get a decent side picture I will add that later.  I used a striped paper from the same line to cover the sides and back.  A MS scalloped lace with hearts border punch to create the trim along the sides and the frame around the top in red heavy cardstock, this is one piece scored to fit around the edges.  Felt hearts from Michaels, MS heart sequins glued into the inside seams, punched leaves and a bit of a berry stem to create the branch.  Lots of Platinum Stickles for glitter, it is more glittery than you can tell by the picture.  And of course faux stitching, this time in white.

I printed this vintage image 4 to a letter sized sheet to get the size used here.  I do think these candy Valentine cards are adorable and I will post more for you later.

VICTORIAN ERA VALENTINE SCRAPS

These are quite large if you print out on a letter size sheet you will get the original size.  These are from my own collection.  Have fun!

VINTAGE VALENTINE - SCHOOL GIRL 1930s

Isn't she a sweetie!  This Valentine was from my dad to his mother.  She was a school teacher so maybe that explains the choice or the choice was up to his 3 sisters?

VINTAGE VALENTINE WITH A BLUE BACKGROUND - 1920

In no time at all it will be Valentine's Day so time to offer up a few images! This one is postmarked February 13, 1920, Victoria  BC.  A Tuck's Post Card,  "Little Lovers" Series of Valentine Post Cards No. 20.

VINTAGE VALENTINE IMAGE (repaired) - BOY AND GIRL AT THE MAILBOX

My Bella Creations friend, Heather Hudson repaired the original image and sent it along to me!  Thanks Heather and hope any of you who liked the image will help yourself to this one.

I will continue to post images and related Valentine bits - the feedback I've been getting is tremendous - thank you so much!  I love sharing my collection, it means more that way instead of just a growing collection that is pushing me out of my scrap room!
