The Swap is On!

I'm so excited about my Vintage Voices Swap which has now officially begun.  All of my swappers should have received their Swap Packets in the mail and will be in the process of creating their front and back covers this month.  All pages in these books will be inspired by images/ideas from the past. When I create a vintage page, I like to start with an image that speaks to me in some way.  I love interesting faces... kind of like this lady...
I study the image closely, come up with a name and a story for her, find other vintage elements that might help me tell her story visually (maybe a vintage letter or old newspaper clips, etc...) and then I let my imagination take over from there.  Maybe I'll pen a short diary entry on the page, written from her point of view...who knows?  She's got a great face, doesn't she?  There's definitely a story to be told in her eyes....
