I am so excited to be a Guest designer for Digital Two For Tuesday today.
As I have mentioned before I LOVE Cora's vintage images and today's post is no exception.
I haven't spent alot of time designing with images of children, so it was fun to do something diffenrent. I would love to have you join me for this challenge. To play along, hop over to Digital Two For Tuesday, download these images and join me this week. The images are free. After you have created your project, post a link in the comments section, and I will check them out. I can't wait to see what others come up with! Cora just ask that you not post the actual images anywhere else and that you give her credit when you post you project. She spends alot of time shopping for and repairing these images for us to use.
You can find these images to copy and print HERE.
Thanks for looking!
