Happy Saturday, all! I am late posting today....no excuse except that I couldn't get to sleep last night so I stayed up too late! Anyway, I started this card at 1:30 in the morning and just finished it, LOL It is for the RetroRubber sketch challenge as well as the Jingle Belles Spirits of Christmas Past challenge!
I couldn't pass up a vintage Christmas challenge, now could I? I turned the sketch on its side so that I could use this Inkadinkado image; I have had this for over a year but never inked it up...so I guess I probably got it in 2015:
I stamped it in Cherry Cobbler on some My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas 6x6 paper, trimming it by hand and mounting it on a panel of striped paper that was in my scrap pile!!! The Pear Pizzazz mat was stamped with the holly image from Bells and Boughs (2010) and the "sending" is from Papertrey's Mistletoe and Holly, and I am not sure of the year of that one...maybe 2013? I just love this sweet font:
as well as these sweet images:
and the inside features a sentiment and snowflakes from Jolly Christmas (2015):
Thanks for popping in today...be sure to come back tomorrow for a fun Paper Players challenge!

You know I love this Vintage Christmas card..I may have to ge that stamp...it is on Ebay...love it and you did it justice...Cassidy all dressed up looking so cute.. What went on with all the beach towels as her back drop...Ha!
I love the card. It's that time to start making those Christmas cards. Thank you for sharing. Happy birthday to Cassidy! It has been fun watching her grow up.
If ever there was a challenge tailor made for you this is it. Whenever I think of vintage images I immediately think of you! Nicely done!
Oh goodness is this ever PRETTY LeAnne! Have a great weekend!
Lovely card! You nailed this challenge! And that looks like a very happy little girl. :)
What fabulous paper - it was made to be a card! You do the whole vintage style so well.
What a fabulous vintage image. I have antique cards of my grandmother's and that font is just it! I think that the Pear Pizzazz jazzes it up and adds a modern twist. Love the way you've stamped the background paper - it looks like it came out of a packet! Love this card. Thanks so much for joining us again at Retro Rubber Challenge. It's always a pleasure to see your work.
Always love when those older stamps finally get inked ... so glad you rocked some vintage with us at jingle belles.
Your retro cards are the best!
What a stunning card! I cannot resist a vintage style card or a vintage style stamp! Love the colors with pear pizzazz one of my very favorites! I am trying to take a page from your style by stamping on background paper! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber!
Beautiful card! That stamp is so vintage-looking that I would have thought it was much older than that! It was made just for this card, I believe. I love your combination of colors and your eye for the little details always impress! Thanks for playing with us at Retro Rubber and always look forward to seeing you in the gallery.
As I am in the midst of Christmas card making, I love seeing what others are up to. Great colour combo here and the stamp is just stunning. Thanks for playing along with us again at Retro Rubber. Claire DT
oh this is PERFECTION; it's amazing how much the barn red ink color adds to the vintage feeling; like a beautiful page out of an old "Ideals" magazine. love your take on the sketch, as well! thanks for joining our celebration of "christmas past" at JINGLE BELLES! <3
