I've spent most of last weekend and this morning trying to reassemble my studio. Last weekend I got the bright idea to replace some broken plastic storage with a vintage dresser that I found for half-price at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, however I'm currently in that interim phase where everything is worse before it gets better.
Hopefully by the end of the three-day weekend, I'll have everything much better than when I began. With 20+ years of paper crafting supplies, it can be very hard to make those purging decisions that need to happen over time.
During the sorting and purging process, I found these fun vintage Flower Child Stickers by Jen Hadfield for American Crafts. I thought they would be perfect to use for the Retro Challenge at Seize the Birthday (since unfortunately at my age, my childhood qualifies as Retro). I paired them with a crafty feeling paper from Simple Stories Hey, Crafty Girl collection.
I used one sticker sentiment and a vintage stamped sentiment from A Muse to finish the design together with a rotated sketch from Just Add Ink. I have so many happy memories of all of those retro elements.
Great retro card! All those fun images brings back fun memories! Thanks for joining in at STB
Purging is hard and rewarding at the same time. Those stickers were discovered at just the right time. Love your Retro card, Stef! Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday and for using the Topping.
Oh Stef!!! I hate that stage in reorganizations but it’s always so fulfilling once it’s done. I am thrilled about your card! It encompasses all of my retro loving heart. Thanks so much for playing with us at Seize the Birthday!
