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!

Oh my, this is gorgeous! To think that you were inspired by my card to create this is just amazing! I am flattered. Don't tell anyone, but vintage scares me, I can't imagine being able to get all the embellies and layers to work. Your card just shows that you have mastered it. Lovely!
Thank you :>)
