Graphics Fairy Inspiration (+vintage printables)

Thank You all so much for your wonderful comments about the papers I've been obsessed with. Your kind words make me grin so big that I get lipstick on my ears! oxo

Here are those images I used to make that ephemera paper (6 of these are from the Graphics Fairy & the rest are a whack of papers or printables that I made/scanned & thought you might be able to use for something or other...)

I'm sure you all know by now that Karen
is The Graphics Fairy:

If not, allow me to introduce you! :-) Karen has a fabulous assortment of vintage and antique graphics & generous terms of use that allow creating projects for commercial use. She simply asks that you credit & link her as the source. And that you don't use more than 6 of the images per project or web page.

The whole Ephemera set is here on flickr:


And the Circle set is here on flickr:

Here are the 6 Graphics Fairy

those Ephemera paper freebies:
