Sometimes I love to travel through the time tunnel and visit my old crafty friends. Yes I like to visit those supplies that I have hoarded over the years. I have this disease that I am always afraid to cut the pretty paper. I'm worried that once I cut it in the wrong direction or in the wrong size, the project will become doomed. It is hard for me to consider that as an opportunity to embellish when I was so focused on making the project in my head. In reality, however, my project continues to evolve as it is taking shape, I really should not worry too much.
There is this stamp set and this paper pack that always remind me of the fond memories - Aspiration stamp set and Unforgettable paper from Close to My Heart. They represent my very first experience in playing with coordinating stamp sets and paper. I saw this color combo at Color My Heart and the paper used, so I thought I should jump right on it. I had so much fun with playing with the set and paper that I actually have made two cards. I am sharing one today:
I guess I am biased. I don't think that after all these years the paper or the image seem dated. They still look fresh and pretty to me. :)
My card is linking up to Color My Heart Color Dare challenge:
