About Me

Welcome to Penny Valentine’s Vintage Papers!

Looking back on my life, I realized I’ve been a papercrafter since I was 5 years old. We lived in Germany during that time. We didn’t have television so I listened to a lot of story records, designed doll clothes and paper doll clothes, and drew pictures with my crayons. It was a lot of fun and I was never bored. I’ve always been attracted to old things, but I especially love old photographs. I’ve spent a lifetime collecting pictures and antiques from the late 1800’s through the early 1900’s. I can easily see myself living in that time.

These images come from my personal collection. Some of the images are originals created by me using pictures from my collection.

I’ve assembled a large collection of scrapbook paper / background papers, and a large collection of images for your crafting needs. The collage sheets can be used in many ways, such as paper crafting projects, art work, jewelry, journals, tags, cards, scrapbooking, mixed media, or they can be printed on fabric and sewn into an art project or quilt. Creativity and beauty come from your heart and your soul. Open your heart, look within and create something beautiful.
