Stamp What?! ~ Pattern of Friendship!

Hi friends!

This is my card for the Stamp What?! card group ~

started by my teenage son :)

Nope, he's not IN it, just INSPIRED it!

Back in the day, I used a lot of my Stampin' Up! stamp sets ...

the old wooden ones that sat upon a shelf 

and earning the secured name of "Old Dusties!"

 

As per each month, I'm showing the stamp set, too!

I'm not using stamped images and own the actual stamp sets. 

 I never know which one he is going to take down

 from the shelf and surprise me with.

Each month, it's way WAY fun! 

 

 This month, he chose Pattern of Friendship ~

a sweet stamp set from 2006!

As almost always, I asked him how he choses ~

sometimes just grab and go to get back to his PS4, lol

Other times, he looks at them and picks for a reason, like this month.

He simply said "It looked like a couple of moms - and it's Mother's Day.'

That works for me!

I'm not super excited about my card this time 

but it was fun to ink it up again.

This is the front - using the two patterned dresses

and one of the sentiments 'Always in style!"

I've used an MFT Stamps Stitched rectangle corner die 

paper pieced her dress from these sheets in my stash and done!

My mom still has all her old McCalls patterns 

that she used to make most of my baby outfits and childhood dresses.

I remember growing up with her pinning those off-yellow, crinkly patterns

to material and cutting it out,

and then heading off to the sewing machine.

She still has them in an old box ...
I told her once 'those would fetch a price on eBay' ...

to which she replied "what's an eBay?"

LOL!

Barb and Jeanette are joining me in the challenge

and you can see there cards on their blogs, too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
