In this age of texting, tweeting, and instant messaging, a postcard isn't just a note to a loved one from a far-flung destination. It's a keepsake, especially when it's one the sender made herself. Here are six quick clip-art crafts inspired by vintage postcards. Each celebrates the joys of summer in charming old-fashioned style and is worthy of holding onto long after the season has gone.
