Vintage Utah Moxie

I bought this book of vintage post cards for a quarter when I was in Missouri last year.  The postmark is April 29, 1943, and they were mailed with a 1 1/2 cent stamp.  I have wonderful memories of spending time driving these scenic roads with my Dad when he lived in Utah, so I thought he would enjoy a card or project featuring these wonderful vintage photos.  The Value in Vintage Challenge at the Moxie Fab Blog was just the nudge I needed to get something made.

I chose this image of Ogden Canyon because my dad has a picture of me near some water that looks very much like this scene.  I paired it with modern vintage papers from the Graphic45 Communique line.  I sponged on a little Ranger Tea Dye Distress ink around the edges to add a bit more aged look.

For a little more vintage goodness, I used a brown Marvy marker to ink up part of a stamp from the Home Collection by Artistic Outpost.  I stamped it in two pieces on the border of a page from an aged vintage book (I have a couple of old books with wide page borders in my collection just for stamping) and then tore the edges before attaching it to torn black cardstock.  What great memories.
