Vintage Aprons~I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Woowho!!! I finally sat down in my very messy "creative" room and put these darling "vintage" apron cards together. Geez, I just need to get my "mojo" back! Between my computer disaster, my never ending cleaning and reorganizing the garden, being gone for Memorial weekend, its been hard to get anything else done!

I saw this darling stamp image on a blog I subscribe to Thinking Inking ~ luckily for me, she had links to the Lockhart website, where I found Susana's "store" here ! I have to add,

my order from this store was shipped to me so fast I could not believe it, now thats service, plus she has some other goodies as well!!

The first card I just had to do in Stampin'Up! Rockabilly Specialty Designers Series Paper, after all, my own kitchen is done in red with cherries! The little teapot stamp is an older ME' stamp. I paper pieced just the ruffle and the pocket on this one.

The second card I did lots of paper piecing, and I cut the tie straps, the little cupcake stamp is a $1 stamp from Michael's. I just wish the ribbon showed up better in the photo, it is really a sheer dusty pink!

The last card, I used my "ever~useful" top note die for the back ground, and speaking of that background, can you guess what it is??? It's a piece of fabric cut from an old vintage apron. I loved the paper I chose for the apron on this one, as it had splotches of yellow on it here and there, looks like apron has some spots on it, just like a real vintage apron!!! Thanks for looking!
