Vintage Anyone?

I'm back from a fabulous beach vacation in South Carolina!  I spent five glorious days on Pawley's Island basking in the sun with my daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.  Oh what fun to watch the children skim boarding and learning how to surf  Note the word "watch"... I enjoyed sitting under the umbrella reading and the occasional dip in the ocean.  I did apply myself to a fairly intensive seashell hunt and I have lots of treasures to use on boxes and cards.

I have been in a vintage state of mind lately... I love adding all kinds of embellishments and creating a collage.  I've been eyeing these two vintage labels for some time and decided to pair these up with an ornate gate, all from Create with TLC.

design paper from MME, Bazzill and Georgia Pacific cardstock,

Copic markers, distress inks, Martha Stewart punch,

Prima hydrangea, Viva Decor pearl pen

This was a delight to create - I just love when I have all the "stuff" I need on hand.  I live in a rural area and  have to drive an hour to a craft store.  This gives me an excuse to "stock up" so I have what I think I'll need readily available.  I enjoy using digi's because you can have your image in a snap.  I do need to add that I still love my rubber!

I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog today.  Thanks for stopping by, I love reading your comments and appreciate all your support!
