May's Kraft It Up challenge

One of the blogs I check out each month and always mean to play along with is Kraft It up.  I've linked it in previous challenge posts.  This month I actually got around to making a layout.  Kraft It Up's May challenge is to create a 'vintage inspired layout'.

I had a black and white photo to use on my layout. A picture of my Dad from many years ago.
The packaging from the Prima alpha sets feels vintagey to me. 

I layered patterned paper, fabric filmstrip pieces, washi tape and some Prima under and around my photo. The square bradsand the little dots are Kaiser bling.

I have a million and one different alphabets, but ended up hand printing my title after trying half of them and not finding the "right" one.

 

 

I used some "almost" vintage products on this page. Remember when those plastic slides were popular? I discovered they are very easy to cut with scissors.

The carnival stamp I boughtages ago because it was unique and I loved it. I wondered what projects I'd use it on.  It has worked on a couple of my kids layouts and now this one.

Lots of layers always creates great texture and interest.

So that's my challenge entry!
