Today's challenge was like a trip down memory lane! While checking out all the stuff on the Blue Carrot Shop I got to thinking about all that "junk" I either threw or gave away that I could be selling! I wonder what things we have now that will be "cool" 50 years from now!
My inspiration is this donut bag: http://www.bluecarrotshop.com/detail...ID=155&CatID=6
I love the funky circles and think this patterned paper from Deja Views has that fun retro feel.

Ha, yes - there were things I recognised from my childhood. Those Aladdin thermoses - most of ours were tall and thin and some other brand, but we definitely had one or two of those, seventies tartan and all.
This is certainly a wonderful cheerful card - a tonic for whoever receives it.

This definitely would cheer one up if they were in a not so cheery mood. Love the bright fun colors and images. Awesome fun card. TFS :0)

Your card would definitely cheer someone up! As to holding onto something for 50 years and then selling it -- do you really have space enough to keep everything that might be kitschy in 50 years?
