Hello, crafty friends! I have been on a bit of a "time out" from crafting lately. Since our daughter's wedding and trip across the country, we've also been to California; and then this past weekend I went to Arizona with our older daughter. More travelling! So needless to say, my crafting time has been very limited.
I did, however, find some time to create this little card. As you may already know, I'm a lover of all things shabby sweet, vintage, and pretty. I created this little card using a few of my favorite things, including a Crafty Secrets image. Isn't she adorable? I also added a large vintage cream doily (cut in half), an October Afternoon sticker tab (to which I added a Melissa Frances rub-on for the word kindness), some tiny little pearl stickers (look, they're crooked!), some machine stitching, a seam binding bow, some jute, sweet little sequins in pink and white, and a miniature pear-shaped rusty safety pin that holds a Papertrey Ink tiny tag with the word "enjoy".
