Freshly Made Sketches #620 and NBUS #58

Hey there.   I'm so glad you dropped by. 

Last week Linda honored me with a favorite pick at Freshly Made Sketches.  With that encouragement, I had to make a card for Jacquie's challenge this week.  Here it is mixing the old with the new.  


I took advantage of a few after Christmas sales and purchased this beautiful magnolia from Altenew, so I'm also sending my card to NBUS. The layers were all cut in white and colored with Altenew inks. The background is a coverplate from STAMPlorations, the stitched rectangle and circle dies from SSS and the sentiment from My Craft Spot (oob). 

This goes to show how older products can look new again when paired with new stamps and dies.  I plan to use more of my older stash this year.  Let's see how that goes. 😁

Me, too, Bobby! I wish us both luck. (I've no excuse for not following through considering I have half the schtuff I did back in November!) This card is a beautiful example of giving new life to an older model! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and congratulations on your win at FMS! Hugs, Darnell

This is a lovely mix of old and new, Bobby! I like using my older stuff too. I bought it because I liked it, so why not keep using it!

That was me! I'm having the hardest time commenting on your blog lately. Ever thought of going to the pop up box format? Those are the only ones that never give me issues.

This is fabulous, Bobby! Mixing old and new is a challenge in itself as I find myself always going for the new, but the old is just as good as you've proven here. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
