Sweet Photo Booth Valentines

I've been waiting for the right moment to use a trio of photo-booth photos that I bought while on vacation last year.  The photos weren't labeled but based on the woman's hat and hairstyle I would guess that they're from the 1940s.  There's a faux mountain snow scene in the background and her gorgeous brooch appears to be some kind of bird, perhaps a peacock.

I started by die-cutting the smallest heart on striped patterned paper.  It is 3.5 inches at its widest point.  On top of that I layered another patterned paper, music washi tape, part of a floral sticker, and a small piece of vintage lace.  I copied the photo booth images onto matte photo paper and trimmed them closely before adhering.

 

The overall dimension of each card is less than 4.5 inches square, so they'll fit in a standard A2 envelope (4.5 x 5.75 inches).  I'll "fill out" the rest of the envelope by including a separate piece of light cardstock.  This helps protect the card and gives me a place to write a short letter.

The cards can be displayed by laying them on their sides.

Don't they look cute together?

Have you ever taken photos in a photo booth?  When I was a kid, the Woolworth store downtown had a photo booth in the basement.  My friends and I got pretty silly, striking different poses and making goofy faces.  We had a lot of fun and made some great memories for a dollar or two.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day.
