.....get your Mammograms! That's right ladies, it is that time again. Kaiser already sent me my notice so I am passing it off to you all. I know it isn't a fun thing to do, but we all should do it. So DO IT! That all said, ...........the card......
Briefly, I printed out a vintage photo of my darling grandma. She was such a funny lady. Hid money in books, talked in Polish to grandpa so we wouldn't know she was fighting with him. Plus, she gave me coffee in the early mornings. Just her a and me. What fun.
I cut the photo using the oval scalloped nesties, then cut two other sizes for the layering.
Put this on some dp I downloaded a looooong time ago and have since forgotten where I got it.
Added the stampscapes tree cluster that were stamped with close to cocoa and clear ep, then popped up.
Since my panel was a little narrow, I put black cs on a white card then added the panel after sponging the edges.
For a little more color, added a blue button with the MS gingham bow.
Well, hope you like this and that you are inspired to go get your mammogram!......TFL :0)

Cathy~ I love vintage photos, and your Grams is adorable! Her dress, air and stockings are so cute. Look at the bunch of flowers too! Love it! (P.S. had mine last week, and the new digital technology is wonderful, and much less stressful!)

Your grandma is such a cutie and I love your story! You were so lucky to have your grandma close. I only saw both of mine twice a year because of the distance. NOW I would MUCH rather have a mamo than the dreaded test I had in July
