Vintage Cards Found @ Goodwill & My Altered Storage Binder

On one of our excursions to Goodwill, DH happened to find this scrapbook for sale and he knew I would want it!

The album is in excellant condition....

and packed with vintage cards...and how do I know these are vintage?

Here's the birth announcement...

and inside it states that the baby boy was born May 15, 1952!

Let me show you a few of the many, many cards inside...

What a wonderful Easter card...

and the birthday cards are still like new and the colors are so bright and cheery!

Isn't this roller skating birthday card so cute? Do kids even go roller skating anymore?

My parents owned a roller skating rink, I roller skated every Sunday.

It seems that birds never go out of style, this one is very sweet looking.

Check out all of these Valentine cards!

My plan was to remove the cards and store them for various craft projects...

and this brings me to my storage project...

I took this binder that I had bought at Wal-Mart a few years ago.

The color was not working with what I have going on in my scrapbook/office...

So I went through my scrapbook paper and this is how it looks now...

I used some ribbon and my lacy flower that I made...

Added some chipboard sentiments along with more flowers and lace...

Added some tabs inside for easy access for each holiday...

Still removing the cards so the tabs are temporary until all completed...

And here is the binder completed! 

It turned out so fun and bright....

I'm linking to these parties...

And before I forget, I really appreciate all the nice comments and all the followers...

I'll be having a giveaway starting on Friday.

Thanks so much!
