New additions to Vintage Recycled on Etsy

These two journals have been added to my Etsy shop, Vintage Recycled.  I am trying to do a variety of journal covers since not everyone likes cowgirls -- although I don't know why!  LOL!!! 
 This is Nora Wadeley.  You saw her in Sew Somerset, but on a larger scale!  Here she is with plenty of rhinestones and an old bit of a bracelet.
I call this journal Sister's Secrets.  I love this image.  It comes from Paper Whimsy.  They have so many beautiful collage sheets and downloads.  Take a look at their website.

More Rhinestone Cowgirls

I just listed three more Rhinestone Cowgirl journals on my Etsy shop, Vintage Recycled.  Here they are.
On the left is Annie Oakley.  The two blue journals were covered with denim studded with rhinestones and silver studs along a seam that came from an old denim skirt -- BOTH BLUE JOURNALS JUST SOLD (JULY 4TH).  Great thrift store find!   The middle cowgirl is on red and white ticking.  Better pics of both the fronts and the backs are on Vintage Recycled.

Check it out!  These are one-of-a-kind!!  (OOAK)

Rhinestone Cowgirls

I have made a set of mini journals and decorated them in what I call "rhinestone cowgirls."  Here is the first set I want to share with you.  These will also be posted for sale on my Etsy shop, Vintage Recycled, a little later today.  Got to do some more cropping.
I call them my Rhinestone Cowgirls because I decorated each little journal with pieces of old rhinestone jewelry.  The two cowgirl images at the left and center are pics of Prairie Rose Henderson.  She was quite the cowgirl in her day!  She was the first to actually make and wear pants instead of a long split skirt while participating in rodeos.  I do not know who the cowgirl is on the right.  The cowgirl on the right is Mabel Strickland.
Here are the backs of the journals.  They match to the ones pictured directly above.  I love using the left over bits and pieces from all the collage work I did in Collage Camp with KC Willis.  Great way to use them up!

I am off to do some cropping and then post these on my Etsy shop, Vintage Recycled.
