JAI252 and FM199

DSCF8243

Happy Friday!  I have a quick card…the hardest part was angling and trimming the paper! The sketch is from Just Add Ink:

And I used some papers from a lovely MME pack called Blush from the Lost & Found Two line.  Here we go:

LeAnne Pugliese WeeInklings Vintage Everyday Card

The papers are just beautiful…the only stamping was the “celebrate”, which is from Papertrey:

I added some seam binding I had already scrunched up; the heart was also from a MME DSP pack, which I just cut out and mounted on a plaid scallop.  I added some Tim Holtz stickers and a retired SU embellishment:

I was tempted to do some sewing, but my machine has blue thread in it and I was too lazy to change it, LOL! And since the Friday Mashup challenge this week is "Vintage", I am adding it there as well:


John noticed a little bird in front of the garage (I think it was a slate-colored junco) that must have injured its wing; Cassidy was fascinated by it and was thrilled that she could pet it.  The bird was not so happy about it!

It managed to fly off around the side of the shed, trying to escape her!! LOL!  She was disappointed but excited that she at least got to touch it!

I love this card LeAnne - the pink and the vintage, something I find so difficult to pull off. With the seam binding ribbon too - so gorgeously feminine!

LeAnne your vintage style is my favorite! So beautifully done and I love that scrunchy ribbon around the waist of the mannequin. FYI this would also work perfectly for the Friday Mashup challenge this week!

Wow - I love this vintage card done in neutral & pink hues......just gorgeous. You probably already knew I would right?:) That paper is beautiful and I always love seeing your scrunchy bows/ribbons. The heart button tops it all off so perfectly.
Cassidy and her bird friend are so cute......although it sounds as if the bird didn't really want to be friends;)

The bow on the dress form is a great touch!

Beautiful card LeAnne! And I'm sure the bird was no where near as thrilled as Cassidy at the interaction but what a cool experience for her. :)
