Create vintage art {using free printables}

Ready for some easy and free vintage style art? Thanks to the New York Public Library Digital Gallery and pinterest, I found all of these prints for free! I already had the frames, some of which I repainted to better fit the style I was going for. 

The above photos can be found at the following links:

Left- French Broad River found here

Middle- Forsyth Park in Savannah found here

Right- Isle of Palms found here

Left- Bird found here

Right- C.S. Lewis quote found here {unfortunately, I don't know the original source}

And in case you are wondering, here was the process...

{search}

New York Public Library has so many images, mostly vintage and historic. Think scanned in documents from wayyy back. I found the images of places {from the first 3 frames} by searching for the place and postcard. Yes, they are actually postcards that people actually sent. Thought that was pretty cool! 

Also, there are a ton of really cool maps on their website. I'm trying to come up with a project just so I have an excuse to use one.

I just used plain white paper, but you could use cardstock or photo paper to enhance the quality.

I recommend measuring before just cutting.

{enjoy!}

Seriously, another project that took maybe 10 minutes once I had the images. Researching was another story. I got a little sidetracked, primarily looking at maps!
