When I saw the challenge for today I knew imediately what I would do. I'm still sorting boxes from our move 9 months ago and I recently found an envelope full of vintage Holly Hobbie gift wrap pieces I had saved back in 1968- or 69 from making a 3D paper piecing piece to hang in my bedroom when I was in High School. (Yes it was definitely time to sort through that box!) I just love these little figures though so I had to use one of them for the challenge today. I still have more! It was fun to do all the cutting again.

What a charming and delightful card. The embossed and sponged background makes a lovely garden setting for your sweet Holly Hobbie. LOL because I too have saved wrapping paper which has survived at least 3 moves - but at least you have now used yours. What a great card for the challenge.
Brings back memories, too, of making and dressing my own Holly Hobbie rag doll.

This is absolutley gorgeous and brings back so many happy memories. My very first 'craft" was Hobbytex and Holly Hobbie. Thank you for putting a great big smile on my face.
