Whilst compliling this post I found a link (not sure how??) to what can only be described as a "sister site" maybe. Here you will find lists of artists and members of the site that have used its contents for their love of vintage. It really is jam packed with beautiful images from the past and certainly shows that possibly time can really stand still (even if it is only whilst I take a lunch break!).... Enjoy

Vintage Images
I have found a truly fantastic site! If you enjoy crafting with vintage photographs, papers, labels etc (ephemera) then you will be in your element here. I stumbled upon this site whilst looking for vintage fashion photographs, mainly for inspiration and also to consider using a nice black and white pic for business cards. Whilst googling around I found that most sites charge for their "photo stock". At Vintage resources there are many pictures that are free to use but only for personal artwork. For a small donation there are hundreds more pictures available in sets. For the time being I found great inspiration flicking through the images that were contributed by the sites visitors. So if you have any old photographs lurking in your attic why not share them with the rest of the world too? Below are a few of my favourites......

BASB Challenge #11
Today I made this scrapblog so that I could take part in my first ever crafty-challenge. At the moment I am addicted to scrapblog and have spent many hours in this peaceful playground! I see that the ladies that have submitted to the challenge have produced fantastic "real" layouts...I hope they don't mind my digi contribution. I have a passion for old photographs and the one I used is of my mum (in her mums arms) with my grandfather and her brother and sister at a day out at the seaside. The other is a picture of my mum with her "new" grandchildren.
The theme for the challenge is Some old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
The old - photograph
The new - So many new things for me; scrapbooking,blogging and new friends!
The borrowed - erm...my partners lap-top (ssshhh he doesn't know)
The blue - well that would be the slightly blue hue elements
I would also like to dedicate this scrapblog to my sweet Nana as it would have been her 93rd birthday today and we miss her so very much.
