Calendar Girls ~ Old School

 

It is the 28th of the month, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers. 
Tami is our hostess this month and true to her previous challenges--she made this month interesting..................  This is what she wrote for us to follow:    Um, I hope I do not hurt anyone's feelings here but we are all a little bit of paper hoarders!!!

Well, we are going to have to give up the security blanket for March. I would like to see your best created card with NO designer paper. *gasp*.....*thud* {I think J just hit the floor}.

So go ahead and grab your 'old school stamps' - yep, like a set you have not used in years - and create a card for the Calendar Girls.

Oh, and let's try to keep in theme with 'use what'cha got', please no new purchases for this round. Use what'cha got...well, everything but designer paper that is!

I cannot wait to see what my friends come up with. It is always something to look forward to!

This was a fun card for me to make.  First--not using designer paper is a bit of a challenge for me--however I did go "old school" and used a background stamp and heat embossed the background.  Gasp--I do not remember the last time I did this!  I did not use an "old stamp"--but I did use a stamp that was not a new purchase as it was gifted to me by one of our own calendar girls Kelly.  She remembered that I played saxophone in high school and when she saw this set in a store, she thought of me and bought it to send to me.  I love the stamp set! So--since I played saxophone back in high school--I think that fits as "old school"...............................  Right Jeanette!
