Creative sandwich using MistyFuse etc

This is the kind of sandwiches I love making! Took a painted sheet of watercolor and sprinkled cut up cross word letters then pressed on a sheet of MistyFuse to make a sandwich. Cut up to use in ATC's etc. Have I inspired you to make some sandwiches? Next year I will post some more with different materials in the sandwich. Click on it for a detailed view.

Vintage Children's French Text Book Pages 8 and 9

Could you use these pages in your collage, atc's etc? The book is very, very old looking. Please do not sell or add to a collection for sale. Will publish more pages throughout the year. Enjoy!

Some vintage pages from a very old book

As you can see this one is entitled: Love's Hiding Place. Click on it before downloading so you get the larger version. These are for your personal use only. Please do not reproduce in a collage sheet or similar. Enjoy. Let me see what you create with these. I have many more from a book with copyright date of 1891. The pages are very fragile so hope the life of these images can be furthered in some sort of a art form. Suggested uses: Book covers, collages, etc.
