Vintage Soul...that is my friend Betsy. She had a birthday 2 weeks ago, and of course I am late! This card has been sitting on the stamp table in various stages for two weeks, full of purpose and absolutely no direction! (Hush NR!) And today, when I saw this card by Julie, our latest FS, I knew it was where Betsy needed to be! Julie, your gallery was so much fun! Your cards are sweet, and lively! I kept your design, and changed the colors & image. Love the photo corners! Betsy is an awesome photographer, and that is what drew me to your card. Hope your reign as FS is full of blessing!
Besty's photo was snagged from the hubby's FB and printed on linen paper, and sponged in chocolate chip. The bg paper was cuttlebugged and stitched.
Betsy, your cookies will be in the oven tonight! (((hugs)))
Thanks for looking!

Well, I take a peek into the SCS gallery after weeks of not having a chance to see what's happening and what do I see as the very first creation on the page? This beauty by you! It's wonderful - and so "you"! I knew it was one of yours before I even looked at the name.... So good to "see" you here. Hope all is well. Moosh hugs my friend!

Awesome, awesome, awesome - I so envy those who can pull off layers and embellishments and techniques all on the same card and have it look fabulous, instead of the hot mess mine look when I try... I'm sure Betsy will love this - I do!
