A Bit Vintage

Posted on | January 7, 2010 | 8 Comments |

It snowed quite a bit here last night and according to my computer it is 1 degree Fahrenheit right now. Crazy huh? I think I’ve come to a conclusion that I like summer way better than winter. I use to think that winter’s better because you can always layer on more clothes if you’re cold where in the summer you only have so many to remove when you’re hot but that all changed this week. I am a warm temperature kind of girl and I cannot wait until spring!!!

Today I stayed home. I worked a bit but got unmotivated and distracted because everybody was also home. So after lunch I made marshmallows and this card. This is another card for Winter’s St. Jude card drive. The little center is a vintage piece that I found at an antique store in Parkville, MO (lovely and quaint little town north of Kansas City) Halloween 2007 (don’t ask me why I remember silly things like this). I have a little ziplock bag full of these things. They’re old V-day trading cards – made in the U.S.A. I used Kazan’s sketch for this card and some Nov.’08 Scarlet Lime paper on PTI white cardstock. The ribbon’s vintage too. One of my yards of ribbon find at the local antique store. Also, if you’re curious, the piggy peaking is Jovie’s piggy bank. That thing is super cute all though a tad bit smaller than M. Should have gone with the giant size.

Well, I’m going to figure out how to get my marshmallows out of the pan. I think I should have read one of the comments. I think it’s mentioned there to put something on the pan before dumping the goop onto it. Crap! Oh well. It’s been two years since I made this thing.
