Authentique January Challenge

Below is a card I made for Authentique Paper's January 2013 sketch challenge.

I used their "Richness" and "Delight" papers from the "Splendid" line.  I never tried this "strips" technique before.  Kind of interesting!

Enjoy!

C'mon Get Happy

What you can't find on Ebay!  I bought this bag, rather inexpensively, a couple of months ago.  The seller stated these were used to bag a line of clothing back in the day.  Pretty cool!

Enjoy!

Playing Cards

I'm pretty busy this weekend making Valentine cards for a customer so a quick post today.  Here is a very retro looking pair of playing cards from my collection.

I don't think they are a true pair, but I thought they looked good together.  Click on the picture and look at the details.  Kind of fun.

Enjoy!

Get A Clue

A dear friend who I have known since my high school days (!) gave me this super fun pack of Nancy Drew fabrics for Christmas.

Aren't they too cool?

I'm kicking around a few project ideas but haven't decided anything yet.  I wonder what Nancy would make with them?

Those are vintage Nancy Drew books in the background.  I've picked them up over the years.  One even has a dust jacket.

Enjoy!

Wacky Answer

Here is the real product name of yesterday's (1-9-13) Wacky Package:  Sno Caps candy.  Movie theaters were a good source for this.  Can you still buy it there?  I haven't been to a movie since...

The 2012 Camouflage Award

Close to every year, one or two Christmas ornaments escape perusing eyes and remain on the tree after we think the "de-decorating" is done.  The winner of the 2012 Camouflage Award goes to:

Mini glass hot air balloon!  Well done!

And let me point out I moved it to take the photo-- I'm not that blind!

Enjoy!

Wacky Pack Wednesday

With the holidays over and done with for another year, it's time to get back to serious business, back to Wacky Pack Wednesday.  For anyone who forgot or is a newcomer, you can read about Wacky Pack stickers here.  I tried to find a seasonal Wacky to kick off the new year.  This candy has been around since the 1920s! Although Nutle (better known as Nestle) acquired it in 1984.  Seeing this, I want to go buy a box-- haven't had them in years!

Enjoy!
