The Play Date Cafe' Challenge #10...The Ladies' Favorite

Good evening, everyone!  We're sure coming close to the end of another year, aren't we?  It seems to go more quickly the older I get!  I remember my grandparents saying that, and I would think how silly that was....but, boy!  do I ever it understand now!

We're on week 10 in The Play Date Cafe' Challenge already--hard to believe!  So glad to have so many talented people contributing and playing along with us--thanks so much!  It's open to everyone, so come on and join us!



This week's challenge is hosted by the lovely Sarah, who has chosen a very delicious color combination...chocolate brown, turquoise and dusty pink...yum!

Here's what I came up with:



The image I used is from Crafty Secrets' "Homemade" Images & Journal Notes booklet, and the turquoise background print paper is from their "Radiant" paper pack.  The vintage recipe cards are ones that I'd found online & reprinted.  Some Martha Stewart "White Gold" glitter, some lace, ribbon & buttons and we're all done!



Hope you're all enjoing the tail-end of 2009...and I'll see you next year!  (When I was young, my parents loved to say things like that on New Year's Eve....things like; "We won't eat again until next year"..."I guess I won't see you again until next year"..."No more game-playing for us until next year"...used to scare me to death!  Then, one year, I finally cracked the code!  Not quite as final as I'd thought, after all!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

  1. haha, Julie, loved the things you and your parents used to say to each other. I confess I still delight in saying to people, I'll see you next year! The wildest experience ever was when my brother was living in Japan and I got to talk to him "Next Year" on the telephone whilst it was still "This Year." I know . . . the mind boggles!!! Love your newest card. I just adore the colours and it is amazing to me how you can come up with fresh ideas all the time like you do! You are amazing you know!! Love you to bits!!! Happy New Year! May it be filled to overflowing with all that you stand in need of and maybe even a few extras! xxoo

  10. Hee hee! My son asked me earlier what was for dinner and when I said I didn't know my 12year old daughter said 'It'll be our last dinner this year'. That made me think of something better than fish finger butties!
    Thanks so much for all your wonderfully kind comments on my blog since we 'met'. Happy New Year!xx
    ps love this card :)
