Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: this posting is for MTTCC or My Time To Craft Christmas #116 with the new fortnight theme "Vintage" Christmas. Think of images or distressing that make you think of what Christmases 40 or more years ago were like. Old wrapping paper designs. Old greeting card or post card designs. Old light string bulbs.
when: MTTCC #116 starts July 4 and ends on July 17, 2025
what: Santa's been framed! Christmas card =
how-to & vendor notes:
1. Santa postcard's image was even vintage when it was printed! The original lithograph was from the early 1900s; then in 1990 is was reprinted and others in a set of Christmas postcards published by Dover Publications =
Thanks to L & S at JB for literally saving me to have something Christmas vintage to do this MTTCC theme #116!!! Sometime in 2024, or maybe as far back as 2023, I was blessed to receive a prize package filled with vintage Christmas pages, caroling sheets, and ephemera!
