Here is a little info about Peggy Loves Vintage:

My husband and I have shared 36 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grandkids ages 3 and 6. I started collecting vintage cards quite by accident. I was helping with my aunts estate sale and ran across her collection. The cards were so wonderful that I fell in love with them and have been collecting them ever since. I love to get a new vintage scrapbook and read all about the lives and times of the individual. Some of their stories are truly inspiring.

Reading Rachel

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring 365 Cards all week long. Today's challenge is PQR (Polka Dots, Quilt, and Red). For my card I decided to use Reading Rachel from Sassy Studio Designs. This challenge was a little challenging for me. Once I decided to use a pattern paper and paper piece the blanket on her lap for the quilt, the rest of the card was pretty easy. The Martha Stewart border punch adds a few more fun polka dots to the card. I added some snow white flower soft to her slippers to give them a soft fuzzy look.

This card is for a very special 9 year old. I just love this card because it combines two of my favorite things, digi stamps and cuts from my Cricut!

Sassy Studio Designs Challenge Make Your Own Embellishment

It's time for another challenge at Sassy Studio Designs. This week we are challenging you to make your own embellishments. For my DT project I used the beautiful Victorian image from Sassy Studio Designs. For my home made embellishment I decided to go 'old school' with my supplies. The flower is made from 3 circles (sizes 2, 1.75 and 1.5 inches). I folded each one in half and then in to thirds and trimed the sides to create 6 petals. I then used my decorative edge scissors (remember those? If you started scrapbooking or card making in the 90's they were the hot tool to own. Ok, ok they were one of the few tools available to us at that time). We would love to have you join us in this challenge. Simple create a project and link it up over at Sassy Studio Designs for your chance to win!

Craft Us Crazy Challenge #4 Cupcakes

It's time for another challenge at Craft Us Crazy. We had lots of wonderful entries in our Nature challenge. Our theme for this challenge is Cupcakes. You can make any type of craft project as long as you stick to the theme. For my project, I decided to make a card. I was given this great cupcake image from Limited Runs to use for my DT project. I printed it out 4 times to make my project (twice on white, once on the red paper and once on the brown). I used the swirls cuttlebug folder to give the brown frosting some dimension. I also cut out and popped the popcorn box and movie tickets for some dimension.

Easter Chicks

I am so excited! I was asked to be a guest designer at One Stop Craft for this week's challenge!! The challenge is clean and simple. Until about 2 years ago most of the cards I made were clean and simple but over time my style has changed. Needless to say, this challenge was just a little bit challenging to me. I kept wanting to add pattern paper and embellishments to my card. In the end, I stuck to the theme of the challenge and I decided I really like the way this card turned out. I like the pastel colors with the white background and that little chick is just too cute! I did add some lemon yellow flower soft to the chick to give him some dimension though.

Baby Chicks

I just adore this sweet digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil. Isn't this guy just the sweetest? He reminds me of my son when he was little. He always wore his mud boots, rain or shine. We used to hatch chicks every spring and he just loved feeding and playing with the chickies. I am going to enter this into the current challenge at Mo's digital challenge. The theme this week is "Oh Baby" and it is open to our interpretation so I think these baby chicks qualify. I colored the chicks and then added just a little lemon yellow flower soft to give them the soft and fuzzy look of a baby chick. I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop.
