Nice. Simple. Pretty. Isn't this card nice, simple and pretty? I think so. But it packs an impression and that is what I love about the stamp set Baroque Motifs. I have made this card similarly with switching the colors and sentiment. I've made it Christmas, wedding and now fall and all mainly with switching colors! I used Pumpkin Pie and Always Artichoke for the colors. I love the tag. It is the Sizzlits set called Lots of Tags. I don't use the tags to this set enough and I don't know why. . .but I have started!
What a weekend. Why do they have to go by so darn fast? I have been to the city three days in a row. My Dad is in the hospital and I have been visiting him and doing a little shopping to. Shopping. Ugh! It's been a long while since I have been clothing shopping. I mean like two years since I have done serious shopping for myself in the clothing department. . . that is. It's no secret I'm on Weight Watchers and I'm real close to my goal. With that comes the fact that my clothes are a bit baggy. I'm not sure what has happened in the apparel industry in the past two years but nothing is "right". The t-shirts are thin and long. The jeans are real narrow in the legs and if I can get them to fit my legs they have huge gaps at the waist. I think I see some eighties styles emerging here and there and I don't like it! Even my favorite store has gone to pot! I used to be able to walk through there and have to seriously talk myself out of buying one of everything. Now, I have to talk myself into liking some of these outrageous styles. I found a top I liked and a pair of jeans and I stood in line. I see this lady walking around in a black long sleeve t-shirt with a really cute quilted vest and a scarf. Now this isn't an outdoor type vest that you'd find ten years ago. It's cute quilted and has zipper pockets and nice details and lines. The lady with her had the same vest on a hanger so I realized the vest was in the store. STOP! WAIT! I didn't see that! So, I get out of line and start following these women around the store. Then I seen the vest! Oh my it's a really cool raspberry color. . . sort of like Rich Razzleberry! So I grab it and the lady that had the same vest on turns to me and says "I love mine, oh great color on you". Well, dang, I just had to buy it now! I even found a black long-sleeve T and a fun scarf! I wore the ensemble to church today all except the scarf. I really wanted to wear it but TJ said it was to "blingy" for church. So, I reluctantly left the scarf at home. BUT, when we went to visit Dad you can bet ole' Button Bear stamp set I wore that scarf! Dad liked it (but today he likes everything (smile). Mom loved it and even a woman complimented me on it in the elevator! It's a keeper! Tyler still doesn't like it and he can't believe some stranger told me they liked my scarf! LOL!!!
Enjoy!
Cute card! I love this set too...it goes with just about any color combo! Gotta love versatility. I agree about the clothes too...i hate clothes shopping probably because I can never find things that fit right. Too long, too big in the waist....waaaayyyy to tight in the legs etc. I feel your pain but I'm glad you found the scarf & vest! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the shopping for clothes dilemma! Not everyone wants to dress like a teen! But speaking of teens, my daughter is slender and tall and it's hard to find a pair of jeans that are long enough and fit her in the waist. Problem solved! We went to Carharrt in our town recently for the first time because they were the only ones in town that have bib overalls (daughter outgrew hers and missed them). I am happy to report that they have every size imaginable in jeans and four different styles for comfort. You might try finding a Carharrt in your area for jeans that fit nicely or you can find them online.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card! I can see how this stamp set would be a very versatile one to have. I don't have it :(, but may have to get it now!
I too, don't use my Tags dies much. I think I just forget I have them, so like you, I'm going to have to remember to use them more. They are great tags!
