~Vintage Garland~

I was inspired from Elizabeth's pretty mitten garland that she gave me,
 so I decided to make a garland of my own :) With her great tips of a thicker card board like material in between the two pictures. On the back sides I just put some pretty Christmasy scrapbook paper :)

Letters to Santa.....

*Joy*

If you notice the little box behind the garland~ is an old post office box, that made dad made for me several years ago. I thought it would be cute behind them for a few pictures, especially the vintage boy giving mail and the little girl with "Letters for Santa." 


 I did manage to sew a few Christmas presents yesterday,
 but of course I can't show them to you yet.
Have a lovely day! Happy Holidays!!

    absolutely adorable! I need that graphic of the girl and the mailbox; I married the postal worker! Nice work there kiddo, now how about some goodies between the paper tags...little ornaments, ribbons, "garnishes"!

    LOL I'm laughing at Tammy! Of course she would advise you to add "garnishes"! Your garland is sooo cute! And I love your graphics.
    Happy Holidays!

    So so cute Holly. I must say that I love the charm old Christmas items have. Your garland looks perfect displayed over a window.

    Hi Holly...so glad you visited so I could find you! Your blog is so creative and I loved looking at some of your holiday decorations! The garland is a great idea, I made one from an old Christmas Carol book for my home and put a few in my booth each year. They seem to make great gifts for music teachers!

    I love these vintage card garlands. I have done this with Valentines, but not Christmas cards yet. I have a salvaged album of old cards and I want to scan them in and print them out so I have some neat things to work with come fall, too! Beautiful work, now following, A
