The Good Old Days

Remember those cute little 45 records of days gone-by??!!Well, whether you do remember them are not,
they are great for decorating!
The theme for this project was~~"Life Is..."
On this side I wanted some of the
black vinyl to show.
On this side I decorated the whole record.
The two works I used were LOVE & GARDEN.
This is a fun project.
I used all scrapes from my craft cupboard.
HUGS, DOGWOOD

For my parents' 50th, I bought 150 45's from a thrift store. I printed new labels for the records with all of the party information. I created 100 custom-made padded envelopes and mailed these "invitations". I was surprised at how many guests got their phonographs out and played their invitations! We also made labels with love songs from the 50's and glued 1 record to each side of a paper-covered styrofoam block. These were used as napkin holders for the tables. The caterer set up a soda fountain and served hamburgers, hot dogs and cokes in the bottle. Throw in a few poodle skirts, my dad's car club buddies in their vintage Chevies and a surprise Elvis personator, and you had one heck of a party! My parents and their friends said it was the best 50th they'd ever been to...nothing stuffy or formal about it!
