Scrapping4Fun #49 - Designer Paper

Hello fellow crafters!  It's halfway through August already, the kids are back in school and Fall is approaching quickly.  Every year goes by faster :o(  Wish it would slow down just a bit.

I hope you are ready for another challenge at Scrapping4fun.  For the next 2 weeks we want to see projects with Designer Paper.


Our wonderful DT Leader Rachelle sent the team a pack of Pion Design paper, all the way from Sweden.  It was like Christmas!!  Working with the pack Grandmother's School Book, we each came up with some beautiful designs, you must take a look.  This paper is just absolutely beautiful with the vintage feel.  I used 4 different papers from this pack to create my card.  The cute little tag is part of the paper pack that I fussy cut out and stamped thank you on it.   


This stamp is one of the first wooden stamps I ever bought.  Going down a highway in South Carolina near the Georgia border I saw a calligraphy store and had to stop.  At the time I was in a Calligraphy Guild in Louisiana and was looking for some good nibs.  The store owner was converting  her calligraphy store to a stamp store.  I fell in love with this vintage stamp.  I've only used it once before and didn't even color it, because I stamped it on some velum.  This image was perfect for this paper.  Thank you Rachelle for the paper !! :o)


Here's the inside.

Hope to see your project in the challenge!
