...and now one for the girls...

Have you ordered your vintage pack yet???
If not then you will miss out on being able to create this!!
Just love the way this LO has turned out - so completely different to my boy layout - but using the same pack of goodies available in the shop... and adding my own personal touch to girly it up a bit.

I misted the book pages... and wrapped the tickets with some of the bakers twine... added a scallop music sheet ...and a little more twine.... yes even purple.... but it looked so pretty...punched some book pages to make 'buttons'... and a twist of twine.. and more misting, a few paper punched butterflies... some sweet vintage flowers and doilies.... and we are done!!
and still have heaps left over for another LO....
close up photos on my blog soon ....

stay good - Mel

VINTAGE PAPER PACK LAYOUTS

Hi Everyone
Its Mel here with my first ever post for Old Favourites!!
Sam has let me play around with the awesome Vintage Paper Pack available in the shop. Let me tell you this pack was FULL of lots of yummy goodies to play with such as vintage book pages in lots of different languages, vintage cards, soft drink labels, tags, authentic vintage tickets and library cards, cute bingo cards and envelopes. I sat there and literally went through it a million times with lots of ideas flooding through my head!!

So here is my first layout - Another one for the boys.... I have used alot of the paper pack here in this LO but have plenty left over for future layouts.
Seen here you can see the soft drink label (my fav!!), vintage bingo card, vintage ticket, monopoly money and playing cards and childrens book papers.... and a photo of a cute little man.... and of course the gorgeous twine available in heaps of different colours!!

And of course it wouldn't be a post from me if I didn't take advantage of my trusty 'macro' button on my camera...

Ahhh... gotta love that button... Sooooo...Jump over to the store now - grab yourself a Vintage Paper Pack and play along.... and stay tuned for a "GIRL" layout using more of the yummy goodies from the pack very soon....

One 'For The Boys'...

I recently got to thinking that we have numerous vintage collections for children and women but what about the males in our lives? So here it is, a themed collection 'For The Boys'.

You will never be hard pressed to find male inspired embellishments again. It is full of vinatge male advertisements, tags and custom bottle tops made especially for us by Little Red Rocket.

The bottle tops look fabulous, they are so light weight and with a low profile they are great for pages or adding something extra to cards.

For The Boys collection is now for sale at our shop for $12.95 and postage is only $3.00. Get yours now before they sell out, remember there are only a limited number of our themed collections available and once they are gone... that's it!

Please welcome....

We are so excited to have Mel on board with us. She regularly updates her blog with the gorgeous work she does and her posts often have me in stitches, check it out http://www.zingaszoo.blogspot.com/.

We can't wait to see what Mel comes up to inspire us all.

Another collection is on it's way.

It's getting close to that time again (and no I don't mean Christmas although I am getting excited about that too!) when we release another of our themed collections. Here is a sneak peak of the new one, any guesses what it is?

I bet you thought we didn't have it in us... more baker's twine and a special!

More twine, yes that's right we have managed to find more baker's twine colours! Banana, Mandarin, Caribbean, Peapod and Eggplant have just been uploaded to the shop. We now stock 16 different colours of twine.

But the really great news is for the next few days all our Baker's Twine is on special! Buy 3 lots of twine and get the 4th one FREE. Simply add your 3 twine selections to the cart and pay as per usual. At checkout write the name of the twine you want for free in the comments box (it is important that you do not add it to your cart otherwise you will end up paying full price for it!)
