14 September 2012, 15:31
Holy cow. This a tough one. I love old text or dictionary pages. I’m also into old maps to put on travel pages or in mini albums. Along with that, how about train tickets, boarding passes, travel schedules. With the addition of two new grandchildren, I would also love pages from children’s books or things like flash cards or cartoon or comic book characters.
14 September 2012, 15:32
Vintage sheet music, pages from old novels and science textbooks, dictionary pages…
14 September 2012, 15:36
I love the idea of Plundered Pages – mine would have a mix of crafty themed things… old sewing, stitchery and knitting images and text, also something for my inner (not so inner?) geek/ science-loving heart… and a good measure of nature-theme treats thrown in… dogs, birdies, botanicals, pandas(?)… Especially postage stamps with any of those themes ;)
Thanks for the chance to win, Rx
14 September 2012, 15:38
Old wrapping paper, cards, buttons that fell off last century, Little Golden books, I guess anything to get my early 1900s photos scrapped without an excuse!
14 September 2012, 15:42
Eep! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve clicked through and nearly bought one of Julie’s gorgeous packs, just can’t quite justify it this month, waiting for payday… So what a fab prize! Thanks for the chance to win :)
Me, I’d really like a pack on a storytelling theme :) Other than that, photography, maths, music, books, travel, hedgehogs, owls, school…. My interests are many and varied!!
14 September 2012, 15:56
My 13 year old sister is just getting into art journalling so it would be fab to put a teenager pack together for her.
14 September 2012, 16:16
My dream pack would include vintage sewing items old adverts, images, patterns button cards etc. I also like love travel so anything travel themed is good too,and I love dictionary paper too.
14 September 2012, 16:31
I could have a blast dreaming this up! My dream pack would include pages from “Fun with Dick and Jane” that I learned to read from in Kindergarten, sewing patterns, doilies, old maps, lots of postage stamps and postcards, vintage sheet music… Kind of sounds like everything but the kitchen sink!
14 September 2012, 16:48
I can’t get enough of old maps. Swoon worthy. I also enjoy sheet music and dictionary pages. Thanks for the chance to win!
14 September 2012, 16:49
What a fabulous idea to give old things such a great new life! My dream kit would definitely include sheet music, dictionary pages, pages from childrens’ storybooks and flashcards. Anything that is repurposed and given new life is a good thing.
14 September 2012, 17:07
I love looking at the Notes on Paper blog for Julie’s sense of humour, & have long admired the Plundered Pages LOs she has posted.
My dream pack would include anything from the 50s & 60s – children’s books,school images, Beatles fan mags, fashion posters & ads, record labels, London & Paris bits & pieces (my dream destinations back then).
I could then scrap some of my old photos with the ephemera (I wish I’d kept so much more than I did).
14 September 2012, 17:42
I would love a kit full of old dictionary pages, sheet music, maps, and children’s books.
14 September 2012, 18:01

14 September 2012, 19:30
Wow what a great giveaway :-)
My dream plundered page kit would include things from my past, things that bring back good memories and things that show my interests. There would be beautiful illustrations from gardening and wildlife books, pages torn from Enid Blytons Famous five and the folk of the faraway tree books…
Spot the dog and Thomas the tank engine elements to remind me of my children and pages from old 1980’s annuals to remind me of my own childhood (I loved Girl annual) or 70’s comics like Bunty and Twinkle as my Nanna used to buy me them, wow it would be amazing to see old pages from those as its been a while!!!
I love old 50’s style advertisments for cleaning products so it would be very cool if they were in my dream kit, and I think English seaside humour postcards are the best!
All this fantasy kit would be topped off with christmas stamps, because they are just the best stamps ever and I love using them in my ‘journal your xmas’ book as page accents every year when its the day of the ‘cards’ prompt :-))
wow what a list! but I had great fun thinking of all the elements I’d like so thank you for putting all these new ideas in my head :-)))
14 September 2012, 20:09
Some old novels & text books would be awesome. Some in foreign languages would be super cool! Would love some old children’s illustration books and some vintage maps would be great!

Wow, thank you for sharing this etsy site, So Fun! My dream Plunder kit would include something like pieces from Steampunk, Gorgeous Graphics, Geometrics & Prints, “A Show of Strength”, & A Traveller’s Dreams, don’t know what that’d look like all together, but it sure would be fun!!!
14 September 2012, 20:41
I think I’d enjoy something with pastels, pretty scripts, a French accent and a touch of whimsy. I have no idea how she’d go about that, but I’d love to see her try. What a fun giveway – so personalized!
14 September 2012, 20:54
Oh what a great idea!
My kit would have a lot of ’50s homemakery things. It would also have sheet music, text pages (maybe from a cookbook — and I can’t promise I wouldn’t try the recipes), and some christmas images.
14 September 2012, 21:03
This requires a bit of thought. But is fun to think of! I would love to see vintage sheet music, dictionary pages, vintage cookbook pages, vintage holiday or halloween images. I love old-style homemaker images (50’s betty crocker type stuff). I love old maps. Some items in french or italian would be lovely…whew! I believe that I am smiling right now as I am typing all of this!!! I love images from vintage children’s books (I try to remove some from my moms home, but she always catches me…lol). FUN!!!
14 September 2012, 21:23
This is so fun!
I’d love a mix of music notes, vintage fashion ads, kittens, love/Valentine’s, and a little bit of travel =)
14 September 2012, 21:43
Thanks, Shimelle. I hadn’t seen Julie’s work before, and I am smitten. A Plundered Pages kit for me would have to include anything to do with old books, maps, photography, space and science fiction.

15 September 2012, 00:01
Hmmm old maps, dictionary paper, ledger paper, maybe music pages or something vaguely lawyerly?
15 September 2012, 00:53
Wow! These kits are amazing! I love dictionary pages, my daughter is in choir so music pages would be good too. And maybe some ledger paper. I like brighter colors, but lately have been gravitating toward neutrals. What a wonderful opportunity!
15 September 2012, 01:45
My dream kit would have to include anything to do with dogs especially spaniels!!!
15 September 2012, 01:53

15 September 2012, 03:58

15 September 2012, 04:01
I’d love anything with books, music, cats, or maps.
15 September 2012, 04:08
Wow what a great idea! I have an old dictionary which had some pages coming out which I use whenever I need book pages, needless to say it has more missing pages now! I would love to use book pages from actual story books but I’m too scared so this would be great. I’m also just getting into old maps but to be honest I’d be happy with anything! xx
15 September 2012, 04:35
What an amazing idea.
I was brought up on a farm but sadly all the photos from my childhood were stolen so I only have 3 treasured photos left. My dream kit would include vintage farm/gardening themed stuff which would enable me to journal the story of my childhood on the farm with my beloved grandparents. x
15 September 2012, 04:52
I love this idea – my favourites would be vintage sewing,gardening, birds and the seaside especially St. Ives and Cornwall – is that a bit too specific??? :)
15 September 2012, 05:29

15 September 2012, 07:21
oh wow, what an amazing idea!! the options are almost overwhelming! I read lots and lots of children’s novels, so I’d love to have those types of pages… I love Jane Austen, as well. I sew a lot, so old patterns would be awesome, too… My husband is a physicist (I was too, at one time), so old science text/diagrams would be awesome for projects about him.
This is incredible! Thanks :)

15 September 2012, 10:07
When i was little my mom and granny would read to me from volume 1 from child craft. It was the children’s poem book. The illustrations were so very awesome. I read the same book to my son. It would be great to have pages like those, but i could never bring myself to tear even one out.
15 September 2012, 10:10

15 September 2012, 13:16
I’ve visited Julie’s store but never been able to decide what to buy! A pack perfectly tailored for me would be horse themed as it’s a project idea of mine to scrap my teenage horseriding photos. They are all a bit 70s, and inexpertly cropped (with scissors) so would really benefit from an extra touch of class!
15 September 2012, 13:19
So many time I look at the “ephemera” te packs & they are full of things that are very American, or completely alien to my life. I would love things relating to my life so 1970s childhood stuff & 1980s teenager type stuff, anything at all about Girl Guides, camping, historic buildings, food, day to day life basically things that would totally complement the sorts of photos I take now of my days out & favourite activities :)
