Mixing Old with New

Today I took out the old stamp set, Time with You.  It has cute vintage images on it from 2006.  And check out the saying, "On the open road of life, may happiness be your destination."  Sweet, right?

 Although I made this card a couple of months ago, I loved the vintage look of the girl mixed with the look of the Regency Park papers, and wanted to make more.  :)

For the cards, I used some various sayings and on this card, I chose another color of the designer papers.  I added some Wink of Stella to the girl to give her some shine.  You can't see it in the photo, but she sparkles as she's riding her bike!

I have a lot, a really lot, of the Regency Park papers left over from the spring catalog, so you may see more things made with it!  Stampin Up is running the mini catalogs for only 4 months now instead of 6 months and I just don't get time to use up all of the products.  I hope they go back to 6 months next year!

These girls look like they are riding their bikes on the road to happiness.  :)

 

Girl On a Bike

This week my friend Barb received a bicycle from their neighbor.  She wanted to send them a Thank You card and asked me if I had any cards with a bicycle on them.  I didn't really, but I told her that I would make one for her.  :)

After looking at some of my stamps, I realized that I didn't have much in the line of bicycle stamps.  But then I remembered an older set called Time With You from 2006 that had a cute girl on it who was riding a bike!

So I made this card for her.  I used designer papers from the Regency Park collection and added some punched flowers from the paper.  Seriously, how cute did that turn out?

I added some designer paper to the back of the envelope and some punched flowers to the front.  Everyone loved it.
