Rednesday Vintage Fun ...

Welcome to Rednesday Wednesday! 
This is a weekly blog party celebrating everything red. Sunset reds to garnet reds....
tomato reds to strawberry reds...and every shade in between.
Posts can showcase vintage finds. collections, decor, fashion, designs or items you have for sale, seasonal items, recipes,etc. The connecting thread will be the color red.

With this also being Autumn and Thanksgiving the Cousins of RED are also included such as russets, red-oranges,  and maroon.


I love vintage ephemera, 





but, I don't do a lot of paper craft. I do like to take vintage images and use them as patterns for my embroidery..............




A while back I had the opportunity to try a digital scrapbooking program. My Memories Suite
Top Ten 2013 Gold Award Winner


As I said before, I don't do scrapbooking, but I have done newsletters, ads, and graphic design layouts for  business uses.
This program is wonderful with rich content, easy point and click applications, and  the ability to keep it digital or print out. There are fabulous and diverse papers, sets, accessories, and pre-made pages to purchase to create layouts for everyday, holidays, and special occasions.   I find that it works great for Cards, advertising, signage, and much more. My fav are the vintage inspired papers and add-ons

This is a pic of the comp screen while I created a digital composite for use on my website............
See on the side all the applications for adding content to your design!
This was last years digital Christmas card I created. I love the vintage lace and the 30's inspired paper

I've also used it to create themed title badges for linky parties I host for Etsy Cottage Style
I added text boxes with shadow to make it look like the little boy is holding a sign


 This is just a Fall collage

This collage was a bit more complicated using pics from my computer and add-ons from MyMemories,but just point and click.....easy peasy




This one was too easy. Just add text and pic...viole'
And, for my own weekly party...............................



I have even made business stationary.........................

I really do love this program, Whether you use it for it's original purpose or for desktop publishing My Memories Suite is very versatile.

Happy Rednesday to you! I love your vintage Christmas card!

So glad you are flexible in your interpretation of red - mine has a touch of mauve in it today!

Have a wonderful week dear Melody!
