...what fun was had walking down the memory lane of my childhood in the late 50's and 60's, standing in my grandmothers kitchen watching her make tunafish in a beloved turquoise and white cinderella bowl. Turns out just like this one. Stacy, your challenge inspired me to actually make a Cinderella bowl freestyle!
And since this pattern (Hot Air Balloon circa 195 was in the midst of Mid Century Modern, I wanted to do a card around the patterns of that era. My Cinderella bowl is a Basic Grey 'Konnichiwa' print. The inside is a textured cream speciality paper. I added two different embossing folders that add to the hippy fun. The large chain pattern is a Spellbinders from Tuesday Morning. And the smaller one under the sentiment is from Cuttlebug.
The quote is from Anne Morrow Lindberg,
"When I cannot write a poem, I bake biscuits and feel just as pleased."
Well, I wasn't in the poetry mood this morning, but I did make up a huge batch of my grandmothers' tuna with Mt Olive Sweet Pickle Relish. Please come for a sandwich and a seat in my garden...it's Saturday, time for leisure!
Thanks for stopping by...
I am editing to add that I found the very chip and dip set that is linked at a favorite second hand store. Think is was under $10. Oh, those were the days...like 20 years ago, grin!

What a super story to go along with your inspired card. Love the retro embossing folders you used for texture and the fun thoroughly modern bowl you created. When I first started with SCS, I avoided the IC like the plague - now it's one of my favorite challenges of the week as it allows us such freedom of expression and often as with this card, a walk down memory lane.

the layers of texture this has are really cool Susan, I love how happy the colors are too. ( I have bowls in that color combo but, mine have a farm scene on them)

The way you do the paper Mambo always blows my mind with you sense of style and out-of-the-Corningware-box creativity. Had I seen your invitation earlier, I'd have popped over (went out to lunch and Saturday Market). I have butter pats for your biscuits, neighbor.
This is so much fun! What a sweet memory, thank you for sharing it with us! I love your retro looking elements. Great card and I love those princess bowls!

Your wonderful story and fabulous card reminded me that my mother had bowls very similar. At our house tuna sandwiches and french fries were an awesome Saturday night treat!
Thanks for bringing forth these special memories, Susan!! Your card is masterful as always!! It seems I make cards and you make art!
