So yesterday I hopped over to Lindas' blog because she is so awesome and clever, and LO and BEHOLD, she's made a gorgeous card using a magazine clipping.
Got me thinking. Because I too have a magazine obsession... I hunted through the stacks and found a Burkes' Backyard mag, and the front cover photo was of a lot of home-grown vegetables beautifully displayed in what would be a dream kitchen for many of us... so my scissors got to work, and this was the (eventual) result.
As you will see, totally NOT resembling Lindas' amazing piece BUT she gave me the starting point.
So now I can justify buying all those Country Home magazines, on the grounds that one day, I MIGHT need one for an ATC.
IN A POSTSCRIPT -- Linda encouraged me to enter these for Drunken Stampers challenge 11, and so I have. There are some gorgeous creations over there! *drools*
Toni, you ROCKED it! You're so sweet to say such lovely things about me, and I can only say: Right back at ya, girl! You inspire me with every blog post, and I love your art-- and your friendship. Thank you, honey!

ReplyDeleteToni, the current challenge at Drunken Stampers doesn't specifically call for using stamps, so please link this beauty up over there! This week, it's all about magazine/newspaper art, and that's the only requirement. :-) (Maybe we're actually "Druken Papercrafters!") LOL!
