I've been at The Scrapping Cottage again, shopping for bargains in the retired and overstock categories. Most of my Cottage Cutz dies are for Christmas, but this one kept calling me back until I finally dropped it into my cart. I thought it made a cute thank you card. The die set is Kitchen Chef. Simple coloring was done with Copics.
More new things: The green trim is Poppystamps Double Scallop Oval and Border, and the gingham card base is Park Lane printed card stock which I found at our local JoAnn's. I was pretty thrilled with the card stock -- a pack of 5 different designs, 10 each, 110 lb weight. I've already cut and folded every sheet. That's a lot of cards!
I hope you all are having a good week. As for me, I'm enjoying myself and will just have to let card making happen when it happens. Thanks for dropping in today!

This is just adorable! I love that cute apron. I made the semifinalists at Heartfelt Creations...would you and yours please vote for me. Anybody you can think of please vote for me. http://hcgo.co/sefivote20
It makes me happy too! It's wonderful! I like how you pull everything together and always make something so pretty. I haven't done much crafting lately... I think the awful rain here has affected my brain! have a happy day!
I Love seeing your new picks and how well they look when you put them on a card! I love this one, the pink paired with green gingham is exactly like what I picked when I first got my very own bedroom at age 13. And it's still sweet as ever!
I'm in love with that apron. So darling and the green gingham is fab. Its a darling card and I am so glad you made and shared it. I smiled.
Cute. Love that apron thingie. Have a great day
I love your card and that die set is so awesome that I had to go right over and order that and a couple other things. I can see that as a great die for many occasions.
I can see why this die set jumped into your cart. I love the CAS design and layout of the dies each in the perfect place, and the little bit of shading.
Leslie, this is just too cute! You enabled me. I just had to follow your link to the Scrapping Cottage and oh boy! All dies! No stamp sets, but who would need them? I checked out the retired and overstock pages and believe me, it's a good thing I'm at work and my browsing time is limited. I might have been in trouble. Your card is just as sweet as can be. Thanks for sharing. Have a super week!
Cutest little apron ever....and cute card too!
OH MY STARS! This is so precious! LOVE how you've colored the apron and the overall creation makes me happy! I haven't been to my local JoAnn's in awhile now ... hmmm, guess I need to go see if they carry this printed card stock pack ... thanks for enabling! LOL
What a sweet creation ... you've certainly inspired me today! Thanks! I needed that! My mojo has been less than adequate lately. Big hugs and Happy Week to you my friend!
How immensely lovely. I adore the inclusion of classic gingham here. It ties into the theme of the vintage style apron to a tee. Gorgeous make!

Well I'm a baker so I LOVE this one!! The gingham is so cute too.
Love your card, it is charming. The apron, rolling pin and chef's hat make such an interesting card.
It should make you happy, Leslie, because it certainly made me happy, seeing the pretty, wispy apron, and the sweetest of sayings! Who wouldn’t love receiving this precious thank you card. I can almost smell the apple pie accompanying the card! Yummmm! So beautiful, Leslie. Hope your coloring mojo is on the mend! Hugs, de
Gingham is always fun to play with and so perfect for the little apron :)
so very cute, love the apron and cooking theme to go with your sweet sentiment, great idea for a thank you, fun idea! I agree sometimes it is just fun to do a simple card!
I am sure when you revisit your coloring you will see it will work :)
This is so cute, Leslie! The apron, the colors, the checked paper. All are perfect.
Loved your bright green gingham paper for the background of your sweet die cut colored embellishments, my friend. TFS Hugs..Nancy

Goodness, what a pretty card this is, the apron is just plain adorable and of course I absolutely love the gingham!! Such a pretty site to see in this cold and dreary weather! You have enabled me to look at their site, I normally wait until they have the 60 to 80% off sales, but darn it girl, you have sent me right over their...geesh!
I love this, too, Leslie! Your design and coloring make this so sweet and fun! I love that gingham behind the vintage apron because back then, weren't all our kitchen curtains gingham, or was that just me? Brings back memories! Now I'm off to shop, darn you!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh my gosh!! this is just delightful and so sweet, the apron could be very well made with pink cotton candy, love it!!
Beautiful paper too, I think I'm going to go check out my local Joan's Fabrics, I might get lucky.
Hugs.
I love this so much! So cute and made me think Donna Reed! lol Onto my wish list it goes!
So fun, and reminds me of grandmom's kitchen in the forties or fifties! Love the whimsical apron.
Thank you SO much for the beautiful birthday card, Leslie. You are the sweetest, and that gesture really warmed my heart. xoxo
