Having spent my teen years living in the 70's I just had to make time to play in Wendy's F4A Challenge. My first thought was to make a collage style card and I opted for the fashion of the decade, mainly choosing those tops, jeans, shoes & handbags I, myself, had and wore! With the help of the internet, I cropped, and cropped, and arranged these images onto white c/s. I then distressed the edges and sponged the edges and over the top of the pictures with Pumice Stone ink. I particularly remember owning a pair of the heels on the top left and loving them! Also, the halter neck tops top right were a favourite, too!!
I hope this card revives many memories for those of you looking who also grew up in the 70's! I think I might send this to my BF who shared the teen years with me.
TFL!

Oh my gosh - I forgot about those cork bottom wedgie heels until I saw your card. Took me back to our wedding in 1977! Love your card and the memories it brought back to me. Delightful!
This is such fun!!! I have a little doll named Susie, she came in a little blue vinyl case like you have pictured except there wasn't a divider in it like pictured on your card. It had a little velvet pillow and the doll fit in side. I still have Susie but the rest is long gone. We moved CONSTANTLY, I look at that doll and I am amazed I still have her. Love your wonderful look back at the 70s!!!
