I had some fun with an old vintage baby cabinet card yesterday. I love working with “unknown ancestors”…and this little photo was calling to me. The background is from an old cabinet card album and I added layers of fabric, vintage lace, and mother of pearl buttons. A Tim Holtz charm and paper rose as embellishments.
The leaves are also slowly turning on the lake. I took this photo last night. My maple tree is turning the brilliant shade of orange (my favorite trees in the fall) and I hope to share some photos of that next week.
Happy Sunday everyone!
gorgeous cabinetcard Nancy!!
Have a great sunday!!
A gorgeous card,Nancy.
What a wonderful photo of the lake….looking very autumnal…….such beautiful colours.
THis is lovely Nancy!
Happy Sunday Nancy, Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, you have such a way with old photos, buttons and vintage lace. I luv this piece!
Thanks for sharing your Fall leaves too.

Dearest Nancy-
I love how you built your collage on the old cabinet card- so lovely- and love the sweet baby and beautiful rose -also—- the rose highlighting the dark background of the old photo so beautiful.
I wish I could be on your class, Nancy- but the next 6 weeks, I am only allowed to create for my shop, and not to” play”.
Hugs,Dorthe
Adorable card Nancy.
I still wonder when I see these old photo’s how on earth Mother’s kept baby’s clean. I have some of my late mom and Gram always had her dressed well,even on a regular day!
Hugs
Beautiful Nancy!
The leaves look gorgeous too- Pikes Peak had snow and some of Northern Colorado Springs had some- too early for me! I haven’t had a chance to look at the class, but I will and if I can I will sign up. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations!

What a sweet, beautiful way to preserve the past . . . I love the photo of your gorgeous lake, as well!
So sweet is this cabinet card and love that you used a family photo! Always such lovely vintage embellishments for a fabulous finish! I can see why Autumn is your favorite season, look at the beauty you captured in that scene! Enjoy!
What a wonderful autumn photo of the lake – amazing colors. Baby dumpling is so sweet with that angelic face. I so love coming to your blog to see your latest inspiration. Thank you Nancy!
I love this. The darker tones and the variety of fabrics you layered are so pretty! I’ve been playing all weekend in the studio. So fun! Have a great week.
How beautiful!
I have only recently started collecting old photos.
It has become somewhat of an obsession, feeling so connected when you find one.
Have a wonderful and creative Autumn day!

Thanks Nancy for the kind words! We will get through it all, it is just hard sometimes- too many things at once! I understand how much you miss your Dad too! I am hoping to keep my Dad healthy for as long as possible, his cancer has progressed. On the 22nd I will rejoice your Anniversary!
