My card is packed to the rafters with Graphic 45 Curtain Call papers and stamps ... I totally adore their 8 X 8 pad ... which is the perfect size for making cards and all manner of other things ... but also being far easier to cut into than a pristine sheet of 12 X 12 ... don't ask me why ... that is just the way it is! I have distressed the edges and blended in some Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add to the whole aged effect! The Old Orleans badge is indeed a Lord Tim of Holtz Salvage Sticker ... which fitted in rather nicely! You know Tim ... the man that can win the Cricket world cup single handedly while nailing down the Grand Slam ... alone ... with just an
Talking of Birthdays ... it's mine next week :0) I thought I would just mention it :0) Anyways ... I have a whole present worrying thing going on here! John ALWAYS asks me what I want and I ALWAYS give him a humungus list ... do you remember last year? ... he got me the whole set of THE Wendy Vecchi stamps ... well this year ... he has n't asked! Which means one of two things ... one ... that he has forgotten my birthday completely ... in which case I will kill him ... slowly and painfully ... or two ... he has got me a surprise ... YIKES! Bless him ... he tries ... but the boy ain't great on surprises and I am frantically trying to work out what I may/may not have inferred that I needed! You know like make-up ... under

What a little beauty! I am so with you on cutting into big pieces of paper - the smaller the easier.
Perhaps you should start dropping hints now in case it's not too late!!
ooooohh this is just gorgeous Linda! I need so many new things (craft things of course!) I need to discover Wendy goodies, now graphic 45, let me know any others and I will add them to my re-morgage!On the birthday front maybe hubby has got you an Ipad, or a vagabond, or a weekend away somewhere really fancy?? Whatever you get hope it is a fantastic suprise....

It's a great card. Maybe it's going to be a big old diamond, and frankly in terms of taste, lets face it, the more grotesquely large, the better!!

I love this card! Gorgeous colours. And, by chance I had the 12x12 pack of these papers arrive this morning. Might have to order the 8x8 as well now!
Do you have a Vagabond? If not could that be the surprise? Or, like my hubby, does he not have a clue about what it is or does, regardless of the hours I spend talking about it?
Wow, you have created a beautiful card. I love all of the details!! Thanks for joining us on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog.
