Vintage Challenge

I am going to a Stampin’ Up team meeting this weekend and one of the contest for the weekend is: Vintage - Using the great styles from the past. Think 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, retro. Think about your grandmother's wall paper or your grandfather's tools, your Mom's prom dress, your Dad's first car. Let that inspire you. Bring a picture with your entry. This can be from a magazine too.
So what inspired me? My sister’s bathroom. Her house was built in the 70s I believe and I remembered that the last time I was there looking at the tiles in her bathroom and thinking I have a stamp set similar to this I should make a card and then this contest called. So you can imagine how crazy my brother in law thought I was when I called the other night and asked him if he could take pictures of the tiles in his bathroom. But being the wonderful guy that he is he did as I asked and my sister emailed me the pictures. So here is a picture of one of the tiles……

And here is the card I made……

Well what do you think?
I used:
Stamp sets: Seeing Spots & Enjoy every moment
Cardstock: Whisper White, Brushed Gold, & Barely Banana
Accessories: ¼ white grosgrain ribbon, gold embossing powder, clear embossing powder.

I made these cute little backpacks for Kayla's teachers to welcome them back to the school year

Here is a view of the straps on the back.

I put a matching mini composition note book, a large paperclip bookmark and a matching pen on the inside.

Here is the link for the template of the backpack. Enjoy! http://www.stamphappens.com/stamp_happens/WindowsLiveWriter/minibackpack_1.pdf

A Card, A Brithday, & A JoBro Concert

So Yesterday was my good friend Jennifer’s Birthday. I got this beautiful bag to put her present in and the colors inspired me to try and make a card to match.

So here is my card

And here they are together.

I hope Jennifer had a great birthday and enjoyed the Jonas Brothers concert. Kayla and I went with My Aunt Tina and Cousins Brittany & Samantha. We all had a great time after a rough start (it is a long story).

Kayla and Aunt Tina

Kayla was totally into it. She was screaming and clapping and waving her hands in the air. Watch my video to see her dance at the concert. What a head banger! It was awesome!
