Old Photo Fun

I love old photos. We recently found a falling apart scrapbook of photos from the 1920s-1950s at my MIL house. We peoceeded to scan all 400 pictures! Whew!

You can create interesting artistic compositions with old photos by cropping them or adding elements in unusual, unexpected ways.

Layered Circle Flower Embellishments

I love those little circle embellishments that are very popular right now in crafts and scrapbooking. They look like flowers but they are crumply circles with buttons or brad in the center.

Here is an awesome tutorial from Sarah Gladman's blog so you can make them yourself.
