More Fun Vintage Freebies.....

Long Long ago.......in the late 1800s, early 1900s, companies put trading cards in their products.  They had a picture on one side, and the ad on the other. I have a shoe box full of these gems~!  I love them....and feel that it is so sad that everyone can't enjoy them.

So I am going to share a couple of them with you here.  They are great for card backgrounds, ATC cards, collages......Just so unique.

Let me know what you think.  And how you would use them.

    Oh, I love these! They are so cute to look at. A couple bring back memories from the 60's. I too agree they would be good in a recipe book, but would also make cute vintage tags. I believe they would make great cards also. You have a wonderful DT see what they can come up with. I bet their creations would be terrific. Edwina Brown

    I particularly like the last one and think it would be great on a card. They are all so different from each other - and all great.

    Thanks Paulette - these cards are fabulous. They would look great on a scrapbook LO tucked behind the picture or in a bottom cluster. I have some of these trading cards from a coffee company my husband's great aunt's family owned. Know I know what I'll do with them besides keeping then in a box :)

    Wow Paulette, These are so cute. I have some good ideas for using them. The little girl will be put on my nieces card when her parents start letting them wear makeup. Soup one will be for a get well card. Love them to bits!

    I love these, Paulette. The Campbell kids are my favorite. I have no idea as to what I'll be using them for. :) Maybe I'll figure something out when school is out for the year.
