Weekly Challenge #8: Vintage Elements & a Sketch!

We were to:

use the sketch provided and create a project with a vintage feeling. We will be watching for soft, muted colors, silhouette images, aged metals, lace trim, doilies, ephemera, fabric, vintage buttons, etc. Please include a minimum of three Vintage Elements on your project.

pages for the last few days of my parents' lives.
