with this month's challenge is using a border punch - for my card, I got a little over zealous using border punches as Pat Catan's is having a sale on various items they are discontinuing and I purchased 3 border punches for all 3 less that $10!!!! What a deal!

Vintage Rick St. Dennis 1935 Hat with a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner

Welcome to Crafty Gals Corner's challenge this week with the theme being Vintage. We have Rick St. Dennis as our fabulous sponsor this week offering 2 digital images or 25 percent off Zibbet Store

For my inspiration today, I chose Rick St. Dennis 1935 Hat as it was quite reminiscent of my beautiful grandmother and her two sisters, Lila and Lillian. I remember them getting dressed with a fancy hat complete with aa feather, stickpin and a veil whether it be going to the airport for a trip or church. Below is a picture of my gram and my pap dressed to the 9's:

isn't she beautiful and isn't she a wonderful inspiration for my card???

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• cream Recollection card stock as the base of my card and a beautiful soft pink floral as my background
• Martha Stewart Eyelet Border Punch on the right side
• Darice Satin Edged Organza ribbon with Queen & Co. pearls
• she was colored with Prisma Colored Pencils with gel pen accents and fussy cut around the edges and of course Stickles
• chiffon flower with a cameo button in the center with a stickpin using Antique Bronze Wing from Miriam's Craft Supplies but my marvelous stash! 

**** I knew I had these chiffon flowers in several colors and for the life of me I couldn't find the dang things!!! Low and Behold this lone pink one was found in the nick of time which most definitely compliments the card. I hear you asking where was it found - WELL, it was found in the bag of feathers. What does a chiffon flower want with a bag of feathers. All I know is they were meant to be together! ***

• feather from a goodie bag from Kimberly Pate with Stickle accents 

***added note these feathers need to be hidden and sometimes not found because of a certain kittie thinks its a bird and digs through this bag and feathers are found every where!!!!***

• sentiment, "A mother's love is like sunshine that warms you all over" is from Create with TLC Mother's Love Vintage Digi and Word Art Set chalked around the edges  

• scraps from the front of card were used for the background with Martha Stewart Eyelet Border Punch and 3 little flowers using Fisker's Burst Punch with Queen & Co. Pearl centers

There is a wonderfully talented group of ladies at Crafty Gals Corner and I hope you stop and visit my teamies and give some bloggy love!

It's a warm fuzzy memory for me of my wonderful grandmother who taught me so much as I had lived with her a good bit of my life. She was a wonderful influence in my life and taught me sew many life lessons  - Gram, this card is for you. God Bless You.
