This is the card that started it all. My friend, Melissa, was having a birthday. I had been looking thru my stash of papers, cardstock, embelishments and so forth. I didn't want to stamp a card, but I wanted to make a card. For me stamping is just too time consuming. Plus it just sucked out all my self esteem. I could not make a perfect card. The coloring was such an issue for me. Anyway, we have a TON of family photos. So, I started rummaging thru all that and found this picture of Michael's great Aunt Helen. How cute is that picture? So, I sat down and came up with this card for Melissa. Honestly, after I made it, I didn't want to give it away. (Don't worry Melissa, I don't want it back....ok, yeah, I kinda would take it back, but seriously you can keep it.) I fell in love with it. Then thats all I did was start making cards with funning sayings and vintage photos. I bought a couple of cd's that have vintage images on them and off I go into the wild blue yonder. I am absolutely hooked on these cards.

They would be so great for a milestone birthday. Ya know, a 50th (I won't say 40th, because that one just passed me by) birthday and I could put a childhood picture of the birthday boy or girl. A wedding anniversary could have an old wedding pic of the gloriously happy couple. Those are just some custom ideas I have in my little pea brain. I prolly have more ideas floating amongst my brain matter than will ever come out, but hey, ya never know, do ya?

So, I will eventually get all the cards I have made thus far posted on here. You just gotta give me time. I'm new to this blogger thing.
