Old Trunk & Toys

Old Trunk & Toys from Digi Doodle Shop reminds me of rummaging in my grandmother's attic when I was little. My grandmother lived in Union Star, Missouri requiring a 24-hour road trip and sharing the backseat of the car with my much, much older brother. Naturally, because he was older and bigger, he got the majority of the seat!


A new challenge begins today at Digi Doodle Shop and the challenge is to use Paper Lace - use punches or dies. To create the background for Old Trunk & Toys, I made my own quilt squares and pieced them together to resemble the quilt in the toy box and trimmed it with paper lace. 


Get out your punches or dies and use them to create paper lace for your card and join the fun for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to spend at Digi Doodle Shop

  9. What an awesome card. Really creative with that background quilt you created to match your image. So very nicely done. I used to love to go in my Grandmother's attic, and look through her goodies there. (she usually let me do it on a rainy day)
