  2. I'm a big fan of flowers and vintage postcards, so I love your blog design! I'm now a follower.
    I would use the vintage papers for special tags for my work and maybe a collage background for home decor.

  4. The papers are wonderful! If I won them I would most likely use them in my paper crafts, like tags and such. I just began following you! Please count me in!! Thanks for the opportunity!

  5. Great giveaway! I love the paper, especially seeing that it's French! I'd use it for the decoupaged hearts I make, and tags, and backgrounds for photography.

    I just now became a follower, so please count me in! ::Jill

  7. Lovely pages! -
    I'd cut out bride and groom figures to be used on invitations, and butterflies of various sizes-
    to carry love and lovely words!

  8. I am now a follow and fellow paper lover! My wedding is May 30 of this year and I've been searching for a conversation started for dinner guests. I would keep the pages intact and place them under glass plates so that guests could read and discuss them before and while eating their meals. (I can't claim complete originality for the idea--it's Martha's!)

  9. My fiance and I are getting married next May. We will be screen printing our Save the Dates on to vintage handkerchiefs - this vintage paper pack would be perfect to use as envelope liners!

  10. These would be a perfect touch for our wedding. Our officiant was also my French professor way back when and we're really bringing in a feel of Paris and Versailles which are both very special places to us. We would probably use them for decor, though they would make perfect additions to our ceremony programs or thank you cards. Wonderful give away! Thanks!

  11. My fiance speaks French, so he would love these, especially because my Spanish usually dominates our relationship. I would probably use them in our programs as some sort of addition to add to our vintage feel.

  12. This would be a perfect addition to our wedding. Love the vintage touch!

  13. following on my googlereader now! hope that counts.
    I lovelovelove vintage and paper. My fiance is Parisian and, since half of our wedding will be flying in from France, I would use these either to decorate the escort cards at our wedding or as the table numbers

  14. I would glue the pages to a blank canvas and ask our guests to sign the canvas. We could then frame it and display it in our home as a keepsake from our wedding day. Thanks for the chance to win.

    (My inspiration is this canvas by Steve DePino:

  15. I am so a fan! We plan on having a vintage/garden style wedding. We were already planning on putting old books on some tables an old night case on another... these would fit fabulously as decoration on our tables! Maybe use them for our table numbers! Then later we could hodge-podge them to a painted canvas and use the numbers for artwork!!!

  16. Oooh, these are beautiful! I don't know how I would use them--maybe fold them into favors for our guests, or frame them and hang them for our guests to read, or even incorporate the poems into table napkins (silkscreen?). So many ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I plan on displaying old family wedding pictures behind the glass panes of several old farmhouse windows. I think these pages would be a lovely addition to break up the pictures. Also, I would frame them in vintage frames of varying shapes along the fireplace mantel or randomly place framed pages on cocktail tables around the reception area.

  18. I would use the paper as envelope liners. It will go with our vintage Steampunk wedding wonderfully!

  19. I would use my Xyron machine to make these sticky, and then use them as the backs of paper goodies - like our program, or maybe our menu cards. I love the unexpected touch of whimsy they'd add, and I also love French, so that's a bonus.

  20. We are having a post WWII inspired wedding. These would make great additions to our tables. We could write some fun information about ourselves for friends and family to enjoy.

  21. completely adorable! They would look stunning as background for our table numbers. We are having a vintage library themed wedding.

  22. Love it! The unofficial 'theme' of our wedding is vintage book pages... I used them for our invitations (Faulkner) and bunting (Tolstoy).

    I would love to incorporate these into either petal cones (so guests can toss rose petals during the recessional) or for origami favors.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh how I love your paper packs! I would LOVE to use these for envelope liners! Ooh and I'd love to incorporate them in some mixed media art pieces that I'm making! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  24. i was GOING to make origami flowers to use as an heirloom bouquet, but these comments are giving me such ideas...

  25. I have so many plans for vintage paper! First off, I'm hanging sheets from the chandelier, using them as table runners, thank you cards, a garland outside, tags on the favors, Programs, and if I have enough, I'm using them as an aisle runner. People are also scattering hearts that I hole punched out of vintage paper on us when we leave.

  26. I'm a follower! These are so pretty! I think I would use them for thank you cards for my bridesmaids and the special women in my family.

  27. I would use these pages to create paper flowers for the guys' boutonnieres for my summer wedding. I'm making most of the decorations out of different types of vintage paper.

  28. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Poetry is one of my loves... I would fold a page around each invitation and tie it with twine/ribbon.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Great giveaway! I'm having a "Parisian Flea Market meets Southern Cotton Farm" themed wedding and there are oh so many ways I could incorporate them! I would love to make a paper chandelier, lampshades, envelope liners, placecards, as matting for pictures of other weddings in the family...how couldn't I use them!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I would make a custom guest book and incoporate the pages into it. My mom was born in France and it would be a nice tribute to that side of the family!

  31. Oh my word-these would be perfect for my destination wedding in France! I would use these for my invitations! I've been looking for months now-so glad I came across your site! Thank you!

  32. I would use these as a background for a guestbook. I've never wanted a traditional "sign here" guesbook. I've always wanted a book, where people can sign and write as much as they'd like. This would be a perfect background for our guestbook, that is currently just filled with blank pages. It will fit with our outdoor garden theme also!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Since all my bridesmaids live out of state and I wont have a chance to ask them all in person to be in my wedding I want to send them bridesmaids "invitations" and I would love love to use these pieces as a main part of the invitation!
    I also would like to incorporate them into my decorations hanging on twine or strung my trees since we are having an outdoor wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am having an outdoor garden wedding and would use the pages as decorations. I would string them from tree to tree (as if they were Tibetan Prayer Flags)and as the breeze blew it spread little frech love poems. Too cute. Thank you for this opportunity.

    ReplyDelete
  35. following! the pages look so beautiful, I want to make sure they're displayed in a way they can be truly appreciated. i think i would frame them and scatter them on the reception tables.

    ReplyDelete
  36. ^^ Now following you!

    We're doing a DIY photobooth at our party, and I'd like to make frames for everyone as favors. I think that these pages would be great to decoupage with, and since everyone knows how much I love most things French, it sounds like a great match!

    ReplyDelete
  37. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE All things VINTAGE!!!!

    I think I would use these for my Menu cards!!! How yummy to have your courses printed on fabulous paper and tie it all together with a ribbon to match our colors of Turquoise and Hot pink :)

    Wow who ever wins this is going to love it! Its a great contest!! Thank you for this opportunity!!

  38. I am having a vintage-pink-gray themed wedding this Summer - this would be a perfect decoration as centerpiece.

  39. I am having a vintage garden themed wedding this September and these would be the perfect addition to my crafts, though I can't decide if I would rather use them as placecards or envelope liners or even as liners for the hurricane candle holders! So many beautiful options, I hope I win!

  40. My fiance and I had our first travel experience together to England for a cast iron art conference with a small trip to paris at the end. It was romantic and unforgettable. We'll be casting iron at our wedding to create our funeral urn. I would love to use these pages on a string as a barrier between us and our lovely dressed guests as we cast the 2600 degree fahrenheit iron!
    Thanks for the great blog

  41. These lovely vintage pages would be perfect for table numbers / conversation pieces. I would really like to create pieces on each table that spark conversation among our guests - these are a beautiful way to do so! They can be combined with photos of us together with some of the people at that table.

  42. I would use these beautiful papers as programs at my May (ballet pink) wedding. I am a lover of poetry, and took many poetry classes in college. I am no great talent, but I absolutely adore this art form and would love it to be a part of my wedding. I would use a rubber stamp made of my own handwritten program to stamp the program onto the backs of these lovely papers!

  43. These vintage papers are amazing. Absolutely beautiful! I would use them in our ceremony programs. So classic and romantic.
