Free Vintage Image, Useful Books and Thank You Card

Hi All,
How's everyone doing? Are you having a good week? It's been pretty nasty around here. I caught a terrible cold that literally put me down for a week! The fever and chills are gone but the chest congestion still lingers. I'll be really glad when I'm totally back to normal!

Today I'd like to share an item from one of my favorite Etsy shops Useful Books .
Cindy makes the cutest memory books. If you haven't checked out her shop lately, please take a few moments and check out her new mini albums. They're perfect for that special Valentine! You can find all the details here.



If you've followed my blog for a while, you know that on the card making scale, I probably rank at about a 2. Usually I stick with the one dimensional and create my cards using a lot of cloning and putting different digital elements together. I really enjoy creating my cards this way but every once in a while, I get a little extra energy and decide to try something different. Maybe one of these days, I'll take a trip out to sis and spend a week with her and get all of her secrets. lol But for now, the good ole American try will have to do. I needed a thank you card for a very nice friend of my husband. Since it's for a guy, I didn't want anything frilly or gooey so here's what I decided to use for my card. Make sure you click on the image before you save it.



I printed him three times and then fussy cut him twice so I could give him some dimension. I picked sis' brain for a cute sentiment - she always comes up with the best - and wound up with this......





So, what do you think? It could be better but I'm satisfied. My next project is going to be an autograph book for the grandkids to take to Disney. I really need to get busy on it if I'm going to have them ready. So stay tuned...

Have a great week, plumb full of smiles!
