Vintage Santa and the Sunset

I happened upon the coolest find this week right here in my own house!!! We have a copy of a 1959 Family Circle magazine. It is just adorable. I knew we had some older magazines my husband had gotten from his mom but I had never looked close to see that one of them was Christmas related.

I just had to use this adorable image from the cover. I scanned it, fixed it a little bit and then printed it out on photo paper. All I needed to do then was to cut it out.

I paired it with a piece of Jenni Bowlin Core'dinations cardstock. I cut around the embossed design so that my card is shaped. I sanded the edges and then added a line of Glitter 3-D Fashion paint by Tulip for a bit of bling.

I just had to show you the entire cover.

And, I just have to share a couple photos.

I went down to our beach last night right at sunset. For the last couple days we have been having some rather amazing sunsets and I finally found a day to time my visit just right for a ton of great photos. One of the most fun things about my visit was all of the seagulls that were having so much fun flying at the waters edge along with the surfers that were trying to catch the end of a day on the waves.

See the surfer in this wave?

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
