Again I'm not an official member of the Blog Hop today, but I'm glad you stopped by to see what I did with today's set, Vintage Fashion. I thought a collage would be a good design for these vintage images, so I looked for some patterned paper that would lend itself to a collage. I added a clock face and a die-cut button.

For my second card today, I used a doily as the backdrop for the dress and paper-pieced the skirt and bodice front with the same paper I used for the background. I added a pretty bow and a hat pin to finish it off.

Here's the Design Team for today. Be sure to check out their cards.
