We've gone all girly this week at
and Lynn has chosen Make it Feminine as the optional theme.
Music to my ears!! I used an Anna Marie Designs paper pad as my starting point, with a shabby, design in mind. I fancied a bit of paper piecing and found that this super cute Crafters companion grey rubber stamp was perfect (Angelica & Friends - Phoebe). She actually takes me back to my childhood when I used to dress up in my Mum's navy blue patent dancing sling backs!! Nylon nighties were very en vogue in the 70's too and I seem to recall a layered peach number that was a favourite!! I wonder what happened to that nightdress of my Mums!!?
I coloured her with Promarkers and gave her a spotty T shirt and a string of pearls too. The sentiments were from the same set. I made a little "cluster" for the top left corner and cut the tags with a Whimsy Label die. Given that Mothers Day is coming up I will probably give this to my Mum and see if it jogs her memory about the little girl that used to totter around in her nightie and sandals!!
If you have stayed with me this long I should say that there are
so well worth an entry or two.
Whatever you are up to I hope you have a good weekend.
See you soon xx

So sweet Sarah. Ah, nylon nighties and bri-nylon sheets, your own personal 70's lightshow! :)
A beautiful grungy style card, the papers and paper piecing are beautiful,lovely to read your memories of dressing up
Hi Sarah
What a lovely image/finished card .. .. just beautiful.
You made me smile talking about dressing up and wearing your Mum's shoes.
As kids me and my sister were never allowed to wear Mum's shoes "in case we fell and broke our necks!!!" LOL!!!
.. .. .. we weren't allowed to stand on chairs either!!
Wearing shoes with a heel on nowadays is quite rare for me .. .. but when I do I love the noise they make as I walk, and always say to hubby "I am wearing my grown up shoes today".
Mmmm ... memory lane. Such a lovely place.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Love Jules xoxo
Your card is such a charming walk down memory lane. The vintage-inspired design and the personal story about your childhood make it truly special. I love the attention to detail, from the paper piecing to the spotty T-shirt and pearls. The sentiment and cluster add a lovely finishing touch, and I’m sure your mum will adore this thoughtful gesture!
So very cute and pretty! Love that darling image, think we all have a memory like that of ourselves and our children :)
Such an adorable image and I love the layout of your card too. The little tags/tickets are wonderfully shabby chic. xxx

Darling card, this was a fun challenge!
So cute Sarah!
Hi Sarah, a gorgeous card for your Mum, love the paper pieced dress, I must say the sparkly dress ups at work were always more popular than plain ones. I love her pearl necklace too. Have a wonderful week... Megan
I love how you coordinated the paper and the little girl's dress. A lovely Vintage look too... x
This is really gorgeous Sarah hugs xxx
This card is adorable, Sarah and I love all the added details like that awesome pearl necklace! I'm sure your Mum will love this card and go happily down memory lane to your childhood.
I hope you are well,
Hugs
