Vintage Vogue

MAN...it's been a while huh? Sorry about that! I've been "sucked" into reading alot lately! I used to read alot but for the past few years I just haven't been doing alot of reading. Well, a few months back I decided I needed to see what all the "fuss" was about those Twilight movies and books. Well, I've been sucked (no pun intended) into them now! I've read them all and seen the two movies. I'll tell you now....the books are MUCH better! They just couldn't put everything from the books into the movies. I've read quite a few other books now. Most of them have been of the "paranormal" variety. The "Vampire Diaries" books were pretty good at first but things just started getting too weird for me! Charlaine Harris' "Sookie Stackhouse" books are WONDERFUL!!! Being from the South myself, they bring a humor that only some Southern folks will understand! Lara Adrian's "The Midnight Breed" books are also very good. I'm reading "Midnight Awakening" now. Kim Harrison's "The Hallows" books are also very good! I LOVE her characters! They have everything from witches to vampires to werewolves! OH...and also demons! But, the books and characters are all very "human" instead of just "other-worldly". Anyway, enough about books! On to my card above! I had seen SO many cards all over the net and on blogs using this set. I had the set but had just never really used it! So, I figured it was about time! Here is my "recipe":

I LOVE this stamp set! I love all things vintage so this set is just my thing! I also love the look of pink and brown together. The DSP I used is now retired but it wasn't when I made this card! The Sending Love DSP was in the last mini catalog which expired on April 30. Anyway, here are the products I used to make this card:

LNS Challenge 51

This is my submission for this week's challenge over at Late Night Stampers. Now, unfortunately, I didn't save a picture of the "inspiration" for this week's challenge but it was one of those "designer" cakes. It is really pretty. It was pink and red and white. It had stripes in some places, tiny little flowers, these little round objects, diamonds, and I can't even remember what else it had other than around one of the layers was what looked like a yellow ribbon tied in a bow!!! Now, you can see what I "saw"! All of the other girls on the list saw the pink, red and white! My poor brain must be warped because all I saw was polka dots and the yellow ribbon!!!! OH....go look here - http://www.technostamper.blogspot.com/ and you will see a picture of the cake! That is a link to Mary Jo Price Williams's blog! See all the pink and red? See that TINY bit of yellow? That TINY bit of yellow is what called out to me! My brain really is weird! Anyway, here is what I used to make this card:
