Textures–Vintage Paper

I used to keep a blog dedicated to scrapbooking. Due to family issues I didn’t have much time to dedicate to it. But I really enjoyed it, took some lessons from great people who master this subject so very well, giving me advice regarding techniques, the way I should save up time doing image skills, creating papers, what kind of program to use on occasion.. It’s an activity so creative and which makes one want to become more and more perfectionist and professional. So my blog is still waiting for me to do something about it. Perhaps I will add it here, since this blog is about Everything Vintage!

Here I found some interesting textures that you could use for your scrapbooking or maybe for your blogs or websites. I find them very nice, especially the second one:

Vintage and Retro Fonts

I love adding new fonts to my folder. Needless to say, they are “vintage” style all of them. Normally I save them to an external drive and use them when needed, but sometimes I forget it as I see a list of fonts appearing right in front of my very eyes whenever I use Adobe Photoshop, Essentials or Paint Shop Pro X2.

I also save them on two websites “just in case” but at times they are so beautiful I can’t help to add them directly to my hard drive and keep the folder as clean as possible, right now occupying just 477Mb, which is all a success.

Nevertheless, these that follow I have added them to the hard drive as well, as they look so nice and special.

These are:

Campanille

Fortuna’s Wein

Herald Square

Matchbox

Parisian

Here is how they look:

These fonts are free to download and the page has many more that might be of interest to you.

PLANET EARTH….

 

The Artist

“There are two artists myths, one says that an artist will have acclaim and rises at some point of his life but that his life will be longer than his fame and wealth. That he will fade into obscuity, all the more bitter rfor having once known such shining acceptance.

The other myth is the polar opposite of the first, and it says that a deserving artist will be ignored, impoverished, demoralized on his lifetime, onlyy to be “discovered” by later generations whi will laud him endlessly.”

Just saw this title Katy goes to Haiti, then I thought about my title, something like “Irina goes to Hell in Paradise” or something similar… Best Nightmare on Earth…
