Three Cheers for the Value of Vintage Winners!

There's a great deal of value in the vintage projects that were entered into our challenge, friends. Once again, it was very difficult to narrow down the choices, but I'm super excited to share the winners with you here today.

Wanna see why it was so hard to decide? Click here to see the full gallery. And while I also loved these projects from Dana Gustafson, loree2000, rrlscrapgal (Andi), samanthasib, cindyholsouser, and kazan clark, I'm ready to give three cheers for these moxie fab designers as well.

Join me in congratulating the following Value of Vintage Challenge winners, for they've turned something old into something simply moxie fab!

Vintage Butterfly Card by NinaB (momtoggk)

Moxie Fab Alert: She used vintage lace and a vintage button. The composition is exquisite, and the contrasting colors are divine.

Nautical Chart Father's Day Card by ivanka2009

Moxie Fab Alert: She used an old nautical chart as the vintage image. The vintage element she's chosen is perfect for the purpose of this card.

Barbie Birthday Card by Windy Robinson

Moxie Fab Alert: She used an old Barbie playing card for this project. I love that Barbie seems to be wishing me a happy birthday, and the product and colors she's used together with the retro image are perfectly paired!

Happy Anniversary Card by Indigo Wings

Moxie Fab Alert: I absolutely love this vintage post card image she's used, which is perfect for the occasion. Great choice of product to go with, and super composition!

Three Cheers Card by heidivanlaar

Moxie Fab Alert: She's used a post card image she downloaded from the Internet and stars from an old Christmas decoration she found at a thrift store. What I love most about this card is that everything is in perfect balance. The background paper fits perfectly with the image giving it a vintage look without being overpowering, I love that she's popped the image out, she's anchored the image with the coordinating blue ribbon in the bottom third of the design, and the stars are perfectly placed--integral to the design yet functioning as a quiet background embellishment.

Ladies, please send me your addresses to cedvalson@ckmedia.com with "Value of Vintage Winner" in the subject line and I'll whip up a grand prize for you!

Friends, I'm sure these ladies would love to hear what you enjoy about these cards, so leave them a comment and make their day!

I'd like to thank everyone who gave this a try! It's so fun to see all the clever designs all y'all come up with for these challenges. And speaking of challenges--I've got a brand new for you tomorrow--nothing too "shady," and one that will keep you firmly planted in the ground.

Teasing you with the topic,

~Cath
