Printable vintage style christmas tickets

Hi all!
I'm slowly recovering from my flue.
Been sick for almost 3 weeks and I can't wait to get back
to my normal life again.

Meanwhile I want to share something a bit different with
you all. These tickets were inspired by old vintage photos,
Christmas cards and all around Christmas spirit.



They are ready to be printed (in a high photo quality for the
best result) cut and used on your paper scrap layouts,
Christmas cards, gifts and altered projects.

All I ask in return is that you link back to this blog
if you post your finished projects online.
This way more people can find their way here and
download the tickets :)

Oh and when you're done downloading you must take
a look at the wonderful blog Graphics fairy where I
found the vintage images used in this project.

To make your tickets more personal use the edge of your
scissors to distress the edges and for an aged look use a
bit of fluid chalk around the edges.













I would love to see what you come up with so please if you
use the tickets leave me a little comment or send me an
e-mail at the80sme@gmail.com

Sjuk blogg

Ja det är visst vad miss cutiepie gått och blivit :P Jo du gissade
rätt, jag är fortfarande sjuk. Varit hos farbror doktorn idag och
gjort en ordentlig undersökning, usch usch!
Är satt på röstvila och sjukskriven resten av veckan. Min influensa
har visst förvandlats till en stämbandsinflamation. Hur som helst
hoppas att ni lyckas hålla er friska. Bestämt om ni ska vaccinera er
mot influensan?

♥ Freebie - 3 layer cardboard flower ♥

Hi all!
I've been sick for about a week and that's the reason
why I haven't been able to check in :)
Today I want to share this 3 layer cardboard
flower. It's a .png ready to be used on your
digital layouts. You can of course print it out
as well and use as a decoration on your paper scrap
projects. I recommend adding a bit of extra
gold stickles on the edges for some extra
texture, and maybe even some staples overlapping
the digital ones.

- Be sure to click the image to download the
high quality version of the flower -

Jag tänkte bara påminna mina svenska läsare om
att jag även har en svensk blogg där jag fokuserar

musik och andra smarta tips.
Alltså allt som denna blogg brukade innehålla
innan jag kom in på den digitala banan.

Besök mig gärna där och lämna en liten rad
så jag vet att du inte sprang vilse!
Portkod behövs inte, min dörr står alltid öppen!

♥ Free Printable Christmas Tags ♥

Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet?
Only 2 months til December. This year I'm starting early
I don't wanna panic in the last second.
Maybe you're thinking about making some Christmas tags
as well? It's always nice to spice up your gifts
with something you made yourself.



I found these lovely vintage images at the wonderful
blog, Graphics Fairy, be sure to check it out if
you didn't already. I got so inspired and voila I
created these printable tags for you to download.

They can also be used for your Christmas cards.
I hope you will find use for them ♥


I recommend that you print them on a thicker
white paper, cardstock works great.

gives the book an original and interesting look.

My Life and Scrap are going on vacation

Shortly after I had announced my BIG sale
the MLAS site went down, because of all the
costumers rushing in to buy my kits.. lol just
kidding, but one can hope right ;)



Because of this My Life and Scrap are moving
to another server that can handle the increasing
traffic to the shop and that will take about 48 hours.
Due to all this I will extend my sale to give
you all the chance to pick up my kits for
a true bargain! So keep checking back for
more updates on how the big move is coming
along and I'll be sure to let you know when the
shop is up and running again!
Thanks for your patience! ♥

Ps. today I've been working on your
freebie, and I will soon release it plus
I will announce a fun giveaway contest
to go along with it :) Talk to you soon!

♥ Creative Team Inspiration ♥

Have you picked up your own Harajuku
and Vintage Chic kit yet? Here is some more
inspiration by the CutiePie creative team
to get you started on your projects!

CT Petra made this gorgeous vintage style layout
with my latest kit Vintage Chic. I love the green
shades in the lo and the photo is lovely!



Monica made this gorgeous vintage style card by
printing the dotted paper from the Vintage Chic kit,
the grudged paper in the background is from my
free kit, Urban found here and here
She made that lovely flower herself, talented girl!



And she made this super cute card with the pink
Harajuku girl and the XOXO paper, all from the
Miss CutiePie kit Harajuku available at MLAS
The fun pattern on the side was made using
pearlmaker, such a fun product!



♥XoXo♥

♥ New Kit Released - Vintage Chic ♥

It's time for another kit release!
This kit is called Vintage Chic and it's a collection
of really vintage style, faded beautiful colors,
such as pink green and beige shades.


The kit is perfect for vintage style, and
shabby chic projects, such as digital layouts,
hybrid cards, tags and mini albums.
The kit is yours for $3.99 and the best thing
is you can use it over and over and over again!

Here are some projects I made using Vintage Chic

Digital layouts made using only projects from
the Vintage Chic kit. The kit is really versatile
and you can use it for both vintage projects
but also get a more modern look like in this layout


Behind the scenes at London Tower Bridge,
the papers worked perfectly with the vintage feel
of the photos I've been waiting to scrap.


More London photos, these photos were taken at
the lovely British pub Colney Fox where we had
the most fantastically British dinner, fish and chips


In the kit you will also find this vintage gold frame,
it's perfect to use on your layouts but I also love
the idea of using it as a way to display photos
on your blog or maybe even print the photos with
the frame and use them for place cards with
the guests photos or don't you think it would
make a gorgeous wedding invite with the
happy couple in the frame?
And now let's talk about something that I love,
Hybrid projects! This kit was so much fun to print
out and the faded colors really worked well for printing.
Here are some of the projects I made.

This is the first page of a little mini book I'm working
on with photos from the summer of 2009.
A tutorial on how to make your own book is
coming up so please check back for that!


One of my CT girls, Stina had an idea about how
the Vintage Chic kit reminded her of shabby chic
Christmas decorations and that got me thinking.
I came up with this little Christmas tag.
I'm going to punch a hole at the top of the heart,
add a string and tie it to a Christmas gift.


And another little tag made using the lace, denim
bingo flower :) I added some lace on top of the halfpearl
and added another printed halfpearl on top of that.
To get some dimension I added a 3D square.


And some projects from my lovely CT CutiePie Monica.

Her vintage style works perfectly with the Vintage Chic
kit. Just look at this gorgeous hybrid card she made!
I just love everything about it!

And another adorable digi layout!
Her son is too cute! Also this shows how you can
use the kit for boys layouts as well!


To pick up your very own Vintage Chic kit,
go to My Life and Scrap now!
