Goin' Vintage!

Hello, and welcome!

First of all, I want to thank those of you who have already accepted my Fabulous Follower Award, and to let you know that I'm still working on getting around to more of your blogs to pass on this well-deserved award.....I know it's not much, but it comes from the heart....and who knows....we might see it poppin' up all over Blogland!  So don't forget to pass it on....just sayin'!

I've been at Leigh-Anne's house all day....her infection seems to be calming down a little, and the antibiotics are kicking in, so she's on the mend......wisdom teeth?....who needs 'em?....Ha!

I learnt a new trick........how to pick up a 9 month old in one arm, while said 9 month old is squirmin' and wavin', and trying her best to get her head under your "funny" arm!! And all this while at the same time tuckin' a 4 year old into his prized Batman suit, answering 6 year old's question about "when are we havin' dinner?", and askin' 8 year old to turn down the sound on his DS.....AND.......still managing to keep an eye on Create and Craft TV, where they were demonstrating Steam Punk!!

Came home to find 11 year old Black Labrador (Bonnie) with lollin' tongue 'cos hubby forgot to fill her water bowl....what??!!....she drinks gallons, every day, and he's never noticed??

Thought I'd have a change, and try something Vintage.....no, not hubby.........a creation....ha!

I've always loved the look of vintage, but have rarely tried to get into it, mainly because I'm not really sure where to start....ha!.......but I won some beautiful Unity stamps, and was droolin' to use 'em, sooooooo...........this was the result!

The papers are from K&Co (of course....love 'em)......and I used a little Bazzil for the backings.........and I really love this flower stamp.....went straight onto the background.......scary....ha!.....

The background to the sentiment is another Unity stamp.....it's a really good size, and could be used in all sorts of ways..........and that sentiment (Unity again) is beautiful...........not sure about my Tim Holtz Distressing Ink, though....it was me that was gettin' distressed.......lol........

And how about that lovely heart?  The grommet was from my stash....was silver so I used a brown Sharpie to colour it up.........

Finished off with a Martha Stewart border punch on a scrap of paper which I grunged with those flippin' Distress Inks.......really not sure about this one......love the papers and those stamps are beautiful, but don't think I'm lovin' this look.........tell me what you think.....pretty pleeeeeze! 

I'm thinkin' there's something not quite right.....ok....apart from me.....ha!

Hugs,
