I created these little altered cabinet card album pages using antique backgrounds from an old album. Little scans of some of my newer cabinet cards were added to the inserts, and vintage lace, mother of pearl buttons, prima flowers, and old sheet music were added. A rustic wire hanger for the top and seam binding ribbon. I plan to list these later today in my Etsy shop.
I am looking forward to trying to get back to normal around here. We had an electrical surge hit our home last Friday (the 13th!!!) and take out computers, Play Station, and a few other electronics. Happy to say the electrician found no damage to the circuit breaker box or wiring, but what a mess it has caused for us to replace items and install everything again! Ahhh….the technical world…what a headache it can be!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend…I will be announcing my “Shabby Cone” giveaway winner on Sunday! :)
These are beautiful as always,Nancy.
I don't think we've ever had a power surge….not something I'd want from the sounds of it!!
Beautiful Nancy, I have a stack of these pages, just waiting for something artistic…one day! So glad the surge did not damage to much, what a nightmare….
These are gorgeous Nancy. Your artwork is always just beautiful…Glad nobody was hurt with your power serge. Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh wow Nancy these are beautiful. Your power surge sounds awful, glad you are getting back to normal. Take care and have a great weekend. Annette x
Hello Nancy. As usual…your altered cabinet card pieces are beautiful! You have such a clean, classic style. Love it! <3 Candy
These album pages are great. We had a power surge several years ago, so I know what you went through. It was a real headache and costly as well. Have a great weekend.

You are a talented gal :)
Isn't it so amazing how much we depend on our electronic stuff ~ My computer went out today for an hour and I felt lost ~
Oh a more serious note, these are so lovely! Always such beautiful creations! Happy Weekend!
These are wonderful! I have an old album myself but I dont think I could part with it! LOL But truly lovely work!
Hugs,
Beautiful Nancy and I'm glad the damage was not more intrusive then it was.
So lovely, Nancy!)
Beautiful! I love those old cabinet cards. A power surge! Nightmares !
Your cards are so precious. I love the color scheme you chose, very rich and creamy. I hate to hear of the power surge to your electronics. I hope your insurance helped on the expenses. I am always worried that might happen to me. Now I am knocking on wood!
They are beautiful, Nancy! I love the very sweet images.
I'm sorry to hear about your electrical problems. Hopefully they'll be solved soon and didn't get too expensive.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Julia
These are so swwet and beautiful…I love it!

What beautiful Album pages! I have been trying to get some of these for ever, not an easy item to get a hold of. I see them quite often on ebay, but they usually don't ship to Canada. If anyone can help me, please let me know, Busymartha@shaw.ca
Thanks so much for sharing Nancy!bler
They are so lovely and creative….love em.
Nancy, your work is so lovely. Truly artful. Sorry to hear about the power mess. Thanks for sharing.
Nancy, your cabinet photos are really lovely. You have such a beautiful way with paper and lace!
So sorry about your techno issues. We had one similar once…but it wasn't a storm, our rabbit ate through all the cords behind the computer and television stations! That took some time to repair : )
Hugs,
Terri
LOVE this!
