Just want you to know that I joined the fan club so I could do a challenge. So excited. I thought since my SCS name is Vintage Stamper, I should try my hand at making a card using Mona's inspiration and Bev's as well. My husband and I love antiques and we have a small space in a local antique shop that we rent to sell some of our wares. My little heart button has been re-purposed as an embellishment, and I have a new passion to find card treasures on our early morning yard sale hunt.
I recently purchased this paper, and thought she was so cute. Reminds me of days gone by, carefree and full of innocence. As I made this card this song came to mind.
Thanks Mona and Bev, I thoroughly enjoyed your challenges. Thanks for hosting.

Wow, Margaret, you took to card making like a duck to water - you already have creativity coursing through your veins, and your background in antiques graces the feel of every one of your cards - Vintage Stamper, indeed!
The way you have used this image with the floral ovals is striking, and the pearls, gorgeous roses, and precious button take it over the top. Keep 'em coming, my friend, enjoying every one of your creations immensely! Hugs!
