Yes, Time Warp..
Sit back for story-time with LauraJane:)
When I saw the card for the
Muse challenge #133 by the
Lovely Michele,... I was taken back to the days when I would cut class and look through Wallpaper books. The latest and trendiest books were always in the home where I grew up.
You see, my mother hung paper professionally for over 26 years. Mom's canvases were walls, ceilings, light switch and air return covers. She worked for the best designers in town and even hung paper in the Illinois Governors Mansion three times. Mom was that good..a perfectionist, something I'm not.
My favorite books always contained the floral prints, Flowers of all artistic styles and colors! This is where my love for paper began...
So back to Michele's card, here it is, SWOON!
Can you imagine that paper on the walls? Well I can! Butterfly and everything:) This lead me to search the far reaches of my little house and dig out some of the paper Mom and my DH hung on the kitchen walls of our previous home...Fortress of Solitude is what we called it.
With this beloved paper I made today's card for my Mom who will be turning 70 this year:))
I enjoyed fussy cutting the butterfly which reminded me of many hours spent with mom cutting out borders for here clients. I colored this butterfly with markers to make the hues more vivid.
The MOTHER is a Waltzing Mouse die I have been saving for this very card. I just hadn't the idea of how to use it until
this week's MUSE. Thank you Michele for a very happy ending!
Hope you have time to create something you LOVE for someone you Adore!
