This week Audrie let me pick the Inspiration site and play guest hostess in the Inspiration Challenge. I picked VintageAtmosphere - a fun etsy shop with lots of items from our past. I was inspired by these fun keys:
I think I was inspired by them because my youngest daughter is moving into her first apartment this coming week. Sniff, Sniff! I think she will get a kick out of this card as we have been discussing grocery lists and leases a lot lately. She always pretends to like my cards - I think she will pretend even more on this one as it will give her a laugh. Fun times.

What a delightful card! I just love the vintage feel of it, the layered elements and the fact that it stands up all on it's own! What a coincidence that we both did stand up cards. (It looks just like we planned it that way - LOL) AWESOME design and wonderful take on the inspiration! Thanks so much for joining in as guest hostess this week and for inspiring us too!

Nancy, first, thank you for the TERRIFIC site....I had fun going through it(even tho' I went with the first item shown)...many items are "of my age". : )
This is a WONDERFUL card for your DD. I know it is hard, but think of the "wings" that you have given her to go out on her own. The card will be treasured for sure.

Such a personalised and meaningful card is always extra-special to receive. I bet she won't be just pretending to like this. I love the butterfly perched on the key.

... and you will expect to see it on show every time you visit !!! It's a great idea for a new home card - I will save this idea for another day Nancy!

I so enjoyed the vintage site you picked for our inspiration this week! Love your very personal card. So wonderful to have your offspring out being independent! Mine are still very much with me! :-) Love the key and lock motif!
