Good Morning, friends!
That is not a typo - it really says 2008!
My son asked me once, when discussing the '80's,
"isn't that when you all wore poodle skirts?"
Me: "You. are. hilarious."
We are on Round 3 of the Ready, Set, Go Challenge!
Jeanette is this month's hostess and asked us to go back -
way, way, WAAAAAY back into our galleries at Splitcoaststampers
and find the 8th card, representing the time we first posted to the SCS gallery -
in, you guessed it, 2008.
Oh the horrors! :/
It's such a funny trip down memory lane to look at my first cards ...
some of them I remembering making and LOVING them - LOL!
Here is my original card:
GASP!
What I kept: the card color scheme and the blue background design
with yellow/green/orange design, bold flower as focal point
and a corner sentiment ...
(yes, that hideous purple flower in the corner is a sentiment, LOL!)
What I changed: The prima flowers to a water colored stamp,
the red polka dot ribbon to red jute twine
and the brads to enamel dots,
and the circles in the patterned paper became paper-pieced flowers.
I won this stamp set in an Altenew Giveaway and am so blessed!
It's so beautiful and the videos using this watercolor wonder stamp set are absolutely beautiful!
I paired it with Amazing You,
the small flowers used to create the background.
You can see here what Barb and Jeanette made
using their old cards from 2008 :)
Next month, I am up as hostess and already have my challenge planned ~
Stay tuned! :)
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

How fun to go down memory lane! But I'll be honest I much prefer the CASED one! LOL Great transition!
ReplyDeleteI mean transformation....lol
ReplyDeleteGreat Card Kelly. What a pretty stamp set that you used on your "recent" creation. It was fun--well maybe a bit scary, to look back to 2008!
ReplyDeleteKelly, welcome to 2017... which is far removed from poodle skirts, just so your son knows. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour remake (CASE) of your 8th card is gorgeous! I love the way you took in so many of the original details and updated them to absolutely beautiful!!!
Thanks for being willing to RSG with my theme.
What a fun challenge Kelly. Your update is beautiful and congratulations on your recent win. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteLovely re-do. Yes, it's so fun to see how much our styles and techniques have changed. Even funny how proud we were of those firsts LOL!
