A while back Andrea sent me these vintage style playing cards. Ever since, I have been trying to figure out what on earth to do with them. They'd be perfect for altering, but, well... I'm not much of an alter-er. So last night (in my CLEAN craftroom) I pulled them out and saw that there were four of them... perfect for a set of Valentines! I got out some lace from Freecycle (got this box a couple months back and hadn't really done anything with it... until now!) and some stamps, some $pot flowers and buttons. I like how these turned out! I don't really hand out valentines, so I'll probably put them up on Etsy. We'll see. In any event, it was a fun foray into the vintage world. I'm sure I'll be back for a visit.

Wow! I'm seeing some cool stuff that will be well worth the resolution of submitting and has a good chance of getting you to your goal of being published. Are you going to use any of them as a prototype for classes? I think they would be great!
