Love this piece of October Afternoon Thriftshop Map of London paper I had been hoarding saving for a special occasion, and thought it would be perfect for this weeks CASual Fridays Mapquest Challenge. I printed LIFE in 190pt Showcard Gothic, onto a sheet of white cardstock, then hand cut the letters (I hope this counts for this fortnights Keep It Simple Negative Diecutting Challenge!) I brought this stamp way back when I was only doing scrapbooking, as part of my travel stash - it has long since lost its packaging, so I don't even know what brand it was, but it's easily the stamp I've had the longest, for the Shopping Our Stash Oldest Stamp Challenge, and I thought I'd play along with the Sweet Stamp Shop: Use What You Have Challenge too. Added a Studio Calico wood veneer bike to make the journey more enjoyable, and for playing along with Simon Says Stamp Transport Challenge!
Okay, seriously, I'm not even going to play in CFC! This is SUCH a winner to me, Lyndal!! I'm pinning and bowing to you!
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, I've never heard of "Use What You Have" challenge - another way to feature those NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff)! Thank you for this info on this company.
Fantastic! And FYI...you are not the only one who cuts by hand. I do too! And I love your card even more because it was handcut. Awesome!
