The cabinet color reminds me of my own Hoosier cabinet with flour sifter that was rescued from the garage of my childhood home. It originally was white with black art deco detailing. My father used it store nails and other small items he used in his construction business. This cabinet spent many grimy years in the garage. When my husband and I bought our log home, I was able to convince my father to give up this cabinet. Daddy, who was a child of the Depression, parted with very little. With a lot of cleaning and some milk paint, the cabinet moved from garage to my kitchen. Here's my blue cabinet today.
Now for my card.
I chose that fun cupcake from Baby Button Bits. I was charmed by that little cupcake when I first saw it. However, I knew I really didn't need another set of baby images. I know these images aren't limited to baby cards, but I was using that reasoning to show some restraint in my order. But I kept thinking about that little cupcake with that button cherry, so I ordered the set last month. I'm looking forward to using more of these fun images. Have you ever purchased a stamp set because of one image?
Wishing you a great week,
Cammie

How neat that the inspiration photo is like your very own cupboard! Your card is so sweet and I feel the same way about the cupcake. I haven't ordered the set yet but have been tempted several times. Love what you did with the little button at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I think the scalloped edge really makes it complete. And yes, I have bought more than one stamp set because of one image. You're not alone.
ReplyDeleteHi Cammie,
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful and I love the sugar topping on the cupcake! What a beautiful piece of furniture also. Love how it is simple and brightens up the corner of your room.
Oh Cammie, I love it! I think we have even more in common. I have what looks to be the same cabinet. It's now in my quilt studio (repurposed chicken coop off our barn) to hold patterns and supplies.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I have bought (too) many sets just to get one image. Thanks for sharing.
