Hi everyone,
It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month it is time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Lynn McAuley.
I decided to opt for using some of my earliest stamps. They definitely aren't the first I purchased but some of what I used for my card today has been in my collection for about 22 years so I figure that is old enough right!
As you can see I have created a pivot card using the Pop it Ups Katie Label Pivot Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.
For the front of my card I also used a stamp set called Sarah Jane, which consists of a head, arms and legs and you can then add anything you like in the middle. As you can see, here i decided to add a present to the middle.
As I said earlier I have had the Sarah Jane stamp set for a long time, but some time after I had the girl I discovered there was a boy version which I had to buy too ... his name is Joshua. So I decided to use both on the inside of my pivot card.
I thought this would make a fun Mother's Day card as my daughter has a boy and a girl, so this card can be used for a Mother's Day card for her in the future. I always need to make a fair few Mother's Day cards each year so this gives me a head start 😀.
Even the sentiments are fairly old ones I have had in my stash forever!
I love that pivot cards can also be pretty on the back view too. As you can see I didn't really decorate the back much on this particular card other than add some designer paper to the side.
In honor of “Old Stuff” Day, make a card or
project making use of some of your earliest stamps of your collection, or make
use of old supplies in your stash, or a vintage image of something from the
past.

Love your pivot card and wow, those colors are some of my favorites. I love these adorable little girls. I really love that country look from 20 years ago.
What a precious card!! I remember when these pigeon-toed cuties were turning up everywhere!! Beautiful work, Frances!
So cute! And I guess 22 years is old enough!!
So sweet!
Love this for two reasons. One, it's a great card. :-) Two, I'm on a mission to use older stuff from my stash this year so I'm doubly impressed.
What a wonderful Mother's Day card, Frances!!! You have the best of the best stamps!!
they may be 'old' but they are still working for you
