Make Your Own: Vintage Postcard {and a giveaway}

Welcome to May Arts / Lawn Fawn Blog Week!  We just love teaming up with this fabulous company! We have got a ton of inspiration and giveaways planned for you, so I hope you are ready!

We are starting off with this Vintage Postcard by Prima Ribbonista, Candy Roosenberg.  Enjoy!


This set from Lawn Fawn is so stinkin’ cute and reminds us that there is still snail mail in our world.  I have some vintage postcards that are from the 40’s that have printed postage for 4 cents on them.  It is crazy to think that in reality the amount of postage has not gone up that much in so many years.  I decided to make a stack of stamped vintage postcards and wrap them up with May Arts twine to give as a gift to a friend going away.
