these are delicious! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
lovely vintage ATC’s…just beautiful!
What made me like this project was NOT the rubber stamping, but all the recycled materials you used. As always, your pieces are gorgeous, and each is a miniature work of art. And so glad to see you still have some of your disintegration papers. I used all mine in my collaboration project, and never considered saving any back. As always, my mind is now buzzing with the idea of starting another bundle on my own. As always, thanks for your inspiration.
In the middle of all the madness of the days, I took the time to visit my dear Mrs. Magpie… thanks for the smiles you bring on this cold and grey morning! Hope you have a lovely week filled with sunshine and joy!
beautiful atcs! hope you’ll have a wonderful easter time. for once it’s good to live in a catholic/protestant country … holidays until monday hooray

I love the depth, color and uniqueness each one has.
OMG, Patty – Why do I see this post so late?
I am currently just too busy with other things at the moment. Excuse me!
The Vintage ATC`s are great and I`m proud of you, that you`re the guest designer at Chris`s wonderful swap. You really deserve it!
I will of course take part again.
Your giveaway is generous and quite fantastic. Hit me luck ….

Delightful vintage art Patty…you are the queen!!
Hi dear Patty, LOVE your gorgeous cards!!! I joined in on the fun too
Your giveaway is sooo generous. I’m so excited to see which cards I get from the swap 
would love it if you’d pop over to see my cards, as I’m not quite sure if what I’ve made has the required vintage look?? Did I use too much colour??
Thanks and Hugs,
Linda
Hi again Patty
Since I obviously don’t know what vintage is, lol, I made a second set 
Hopefully more vintage looking this time.
Hugs,
Linda
Patty, thank you for the “vintage” theme. What a pleasure it has been looking at all the other vintage ATCs! As usual, your work is absolutely stellar and quite an inspiration!
Also enjoyed looking at all your Spring photos! You are a terrific photographer as well! Your part of the country is so beautiful…thanks for sharing!
Hi Patty
Had a great time visiting your blog!
I’ve got off to a slow start but have done 2 of my 5 vintage atc’s – now I am on a roll……..!
