SIMPLER TIMES

Got really busy on my days off and completed a few cards. Need to get this one posted right away, as there are a couple of deadlines to meet. Our Creative Corner has a sketch this week, Lots to Do suggested that you use vintage, and The Shabby Tea Room wanted us to use some of our scraps, that we know we all have tons of little pieces sitting around.
I love to work with scraps of paper, and have them some what organized, I save every little piece, tell myself that there will be a time in the future that I will find a use for them. Ali gave use some ideas a while back on how to organize the scraps by color, I did this, but didn't get the prints separated by color. This is something that I really need to do, as it won't take as long to find those little treasurers.

Vintage is one of my favorite themes, so this was a piece of cake. This stamp set has come in very handy, use it for masculine cards all the time. The paper on the background looks handwritten, that is definitely vintage, we use the computer and typing for everything now days. Once the image was stamped on the polka dot background, it did emboss it with my Big Shot, and Cuttlebug folder, which has script writing. The sentiment is computer generated (Oh No!!) and a button tied with blue DMC floss to complete the picture.
Time for me to head off to work, thanks for stopping by today, and hope that you have a wonderful day.

  4. Lovely card - I love how you've echoed the colour of the scallops with the button bow! Nothing wrong with computer-created elements in my book, I think of the computer as just another tool in the creative tool box! :)

  9. Such a pretty card! I love vintage as well. I have my design paper sorted by company. That way I have some kind of chance to find the ones that are all in the same stack. Plus, most companies use like colors in their papers. It works for me and is a lot easier than sorting by color. the DP has so many colors in it I would never be able to choose where to put it. I do have my cardstock sorted with warms, cools and neutrals.

    Blessings,
    Christine
