Question I'm looking too...

I've seen some product requests and queries for a kit with a certain look to it so thought I'd throw this one out there before the sale:
I have so many photos from the 60's & 70's so I'm looking for something with the kind of funky, hippy colors of that era.
Also, I really want to start working on my parent's photos from the 40's...anyone want to recommend something with a vintage/WWII look? Very subtle tones, I think.
Thanks in advance!

For some funky, hippy colored paper - search through Jesse Edwards papers - I bet you'll find something you like. For the vintage look - perhaps some of Katie's Letter Box kits.

I love those flowers, Heather. Thanks!
And Lori, thanks to you, too. Jesse has some wonderful things that I hadn't seen before.
Also, a couple of new kits in the store would be super for what I have in mind

Default oh yeah...the 60's!

Anna's Abstract Art Prints



Anna's Cloes Closet Paperie


not trying to blow my own horn but check out the things I used in


"Remember the Sixties"

I used alot of products that are what you're looking for is this and you can only post 4 pic's I think...but there are items by several of the designers

Anna has lot of products that would work perfectly for the 60's-70's

Hope this helps!

Here are a few pages (one from me, and others from De Anna {rubia}) that are from the 70s. They don't use specifically 70s kits, but I think that you can really just work with colors from the era and make something unique. That would be better, in my opinion, than an "in your face" 70s look, kwim??

Click on an image to see the credits.





That being said, these papers are reminiscent of some 70s colors to me.

Oh yeah...now we're rockin'. Thanks so much! Leave it to me to be looking for a kit that screams an era when I could just use my noggin and look for the right colors and feel.
Thanks, gals!

Looking through the store, I am noticing a number that are popping out to me as 60s/70s types of colors which I hadn't thought of before... not that I am an expert on the 60s/70s.. I just remember some of the outfits my mom wore in old photos of when my siblings and I were young.

In addition to the ones mentioned before, Mindy has some pretty cool ones with some gorgeous flower designs, etc
