For the four years I was in high school, my church youth group went to a teen conference a few days after Christmas. The conference was about 12 hours away, so we would always drive the first leg all day long and stop at a church in a small town in Oregon for the night before driving the last leg the next day. The girls were set up in a few of the Sunday school classrooms and we always remarked on the authentic retro styling of the rooms. It wasn't until about last year before I appreciated how awesome the wallpaper in these rooms were.
I went on the conference again this year to volunteer as kitchen staff for the conference and I knew that I needed to take pictures of the wallpaper in case I never went back. It's funny because when I was taking the pictures, I immediately thought of Danielle. I knew she would appreciate the kitschy awesomeness!
I made this digital scrapbook page with the wallpaper as my "paper" and then some of Danielle's Kitschy Digitals products, because the style and colors go along so well. I added the "Wrinkled Linen" as a layer from the Granny's Attic kit over the paper to add some texture over the wallpaper. I made a free download of the wallpaper in case you want to use them for your scrapbooks or desktop wallpaper or whatever! Enjoy!

Thank-you so much Kara for this amazing free download! You know me well - I'm a sucker for vintage illustrations and even better - put them on wallpaper! I could see this used for so many things. It would be super cute printed and used for a sailor themed kid's party for the invitations and more. So many ideas! (for personal use only.. thanks!)
