This is my card for Fan Club Extravaganza put on by the Dirty Girls. This one is for the challenge hosted by Va.Sunshine. If you are not a Fan Club member you need to join so you can play in all the fun too!
I used a page out of an old dictionary for my bg - I purchased the dictionary from a local thrift store. It was published in the 1930s and most of the binding is gone, but I love the aged look of the pages. I sponged a SB oval die with SU! Crumb Cake to match.
These challenges are sooo fun!
If you are

Thanks for the inspiration of using old books. Your card is awesome. I love making cards, but not always good at layouts etc. I need help in that area...and you did it.

There you go again, usin' those scraps to create one beautiful lonely flower. You know any flower, whether one or more is beautiful in and of itself. Love your card sis!
