IC323 Old and Beautiful
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: gabalot

 Judy, what a FAB site BETTER PHOTOS is! I spent over an hour viewing 100s of awesome pictures. I choose at least 20 as inspiration photos, however, for my first card today, I chose as my inspiration, this picture titled OLD AND BEAUTIFUL:

http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/d...ber=152&camID=

Here is the link to the FTL172 sketch I used:

http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogsp...12/01/172.html

Without knowing the other asked me, my Mom and Dad asked me to create Valentine's Day cards for them to give to each other. Too funny! After 52 yrs of marriage, they have a deep and true love and have grown to appreciate the humor in each other, as well. The cards I make will reflect that. So ... this is the one I created for my Dad to give my Mom. BTW, that's him on the front, paper-pieced, mis-matched summer attire to boot. Heehee! (He actually caught on a decade ago and hasn't been wearing plaid and stripes together anymore, but we still tease him about his sometimes zany color combos!)

The inside reads "Just the way I like my Valentine! So glad you're mine."

THANKS FOR LOOKING!

I like how you think. Using an old house to inspire this card was very creative.

This is terrific! Love the distressing and the peeled paint look of the bg. The photo you chose is also amazing.

Too funny! I still like to tease my brother about the pics of him as a boy wearing plaids and stripes!
