"I am a lover of all things vintage - especially postcards and prints from old books. I opened this shop to share with you all of the wonderful things I find out there. This shop is a good excuse for me to continue adding more items to my ever growing vintage collection!

I hope you enjoy my shop as much as I enjoy keeping it stocked with new goodies!"

"Welcome to MyArtPlace!

I create mixed media, collage, folk art, religious icons, jewelry with a twist, paintings & digital art. Frida Kahlo has long been my muse and some of my art is inspired by her colorful life and paintings. I also enjoy dressing up in costume for any occasion but especially for Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos celebrations and of course as Frida.

Hunting for treasures at flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops is also a favorite past time and I often incorporate these objects into my art.

I hope you enjoy perusing through MyArtPlace. Please feel free to contact me with comments or questions."

"Hi, everyone! If there's anything you need to know about me, it's this; my name's Tina, and I love all things from day's gone by! I've always believed there is something magical about history. This belief has led to many hobbies over my lifetime, one of which is the collecting of vintage postcards, prints, paper dolls...pretty much anything that's paper, and from another era, and you can bet it's in my collection. I want, so very deeply, to share this love of paper and history with you, and I hope you enjoy taking a look around my shop. You never know what you might discover!"

"Vintage. What a wonderful way to touch the past. Postcards, Books, Sheet Music, Advertising and any other Ephemera that catches the eye and touches the heart. I am thrilled to share my finds with YOU! I love searching for that perfect card or artwork that really conveys the moment - don't you?

I am also adding some vintage items that are not paper related. My need to purge at this time in my life could bring you just the perfect item you were seeking for display, gifting, re-purposing or just to recapture a simpler time.

I hope you enjoy browsing the shop and blowing the dust off of some of these wonderful old images and items. I know that they would love to come and live at your house!

Thanks for stopping by!"

"Welcome to my Digital Image Store! Here you will find one of a kind works of art created from antique postcards and other ephemera. I have spent many happy hours editing these lovely images from the past, scanning them at very high resolution and then renewing their faded colors and adding a touch of whimsy of my own. They will turn your art projects into the stuff of dreams! I hope you find something you really like. Stop back often as I am constantly adding new items from my collection."

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - MagisPlace

Here is little bit about MagisPlace from her profile:

"Thank you for visiting my little shop. MagisPlace really began 40 years ago when the collector's itch hit. Everything from postcards to primitive furniture, many of which I personally restored.

When the Internet became a household word, I fell in love with computer graphics and offered web designs and graphics on a Christian website for 13 years. After retirement, it was a natural transition to combine my love for vintage antiques and creating graphics into an online store offering web designs and restored graphics with great emphasis placed on detail.

A great deal of time is spent on each individual item with a unique restoration/repainting process that truly produces beautiful commercial quality images. I offer 100% guaranteed satisfaction with all of my professional products, personal service, and effortless transactions."
~MagisPlace

Magi also has many other sizes and shapes including her rounds and bookmarks.

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - Land Of Enchantment

Today's Pacific Postcards Team (PPT Team) Meet and Greet features Debrina Pratt owner of a lovely shop called Land Of Enchantment that sells many wonderful digital downloads.  Debrina has been an member of the PPT Team since April 2011. 

While putting together this feature I took the time to once again browse through her shop.  The shop is amazing and features so many whimsical images you could get lost for hours.  The name is very fitting Land Of Enchantment because all of her images look like they have come straight from there.  Digital imagery is a very time consuming project so the details of her art is truly shows her talent.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/95140940/whimsical-digital-collage-sheet-1-x-3

The Land Of Enchantment's images will meet any novice or professional crafter's needs with wide variety of sizes and shapes.  There are .85 squares for scrabble tiles and 1 x 2 inches for pendants, 1 and 2 inch circles, and 8 x 10 inch for larger projects.  The variety is too large to list each, it is simply a must visit shop.

A little bit about Debrina from her profile page:
"♥a little about me♥ As a full time collage artist, I know first hand that image quality is of the utmost importance and that is what I strive to bring you in each of my uniquely designed digital collage sheets. Starting with legally obtained images, I enhance, hand-color and/or lovingly digitally restore each of them until I reach a final design that I would use in my own artwork!

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - CalicoCollage

Today's team member has a shop that features items quite different from the last few team members I featured.  I am happy to introduce Ella Bouchard, Calico Collage at  http://www.etsy.com/shop/calicocollage  Ella's shop has a very large selection of digital printables that make it fun for any crafter, craft business or do-it-yourselfer.

While the Pacific Postcards Team (PPT) is all about creating and collecting postcards we do include the awesome artists that utilize the beautiful images from vintage postcards.  PPT includes these shops because like those of us that collect the actual physical postcards they are on the same treasure hunt looking for those special images for their collection.   Most of us the have collected postcards also dream of the what we could do with those whimsical images if we could just capture them and now that we live in a digital age we can fulfill that dream.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/95025079/new-vintage-birds-digital-collage-sheet

Calico Collage currently has 719 item for you to browse through.  The images range in sizes from small, scrabble size, .75 x .83 inches to 4 inches and larger.  Ella's images are all high quality 300 dpi JPG files that are ready to print.
