Here's a little something new today. I've added a new category just for kids! I've come across some activity books for kids and I thought it would be fun to make some printable activity, or project pages, so that Moms, Grandparents, teachers etc can print them out and share them with their favorite kiddos! I'm starting with this fun vintage image from an antique coloring book. This one is a wonderful Circus lady riding a horse bareback style. You can go HERE to download and print up the full size PDF image.
I haven't forgotten about my crafters either!! If you pop over to my other blog at Backgroundfairy.com, you'll find this same image available as a digital stamp, all ready to go in PDF format!

Vintage Kids Printable - Circus Coloring Page
Vintage Clip Art - Old Gummed Parcel Post Label


This is a really fun vintage Parcel Post label, the kind that comes with a gummed back! The original is at the top and then I made it a version without the inspection wording and a second version in red. Obviously it would make a cute label, but I'm sure you can think of some other uses too, maybe a gift tag?!

Vintage Clip Art - Globes, Earth - Steampunk



These are some interesting objects from an early children's geography book circa 1885. I've included the stained original image at the bottom and I've cleaned up the individual objects for you as well. Included are a wonderful Globe, an interesting engraving of the Earth with clouds swirling around it, and a map of the world. These are great for your steampunk collage projects!!
