Today is Earth Day and Sabrina gave us a challenge to use recycled things on our card. I have been hanging onto a film festival booklet from Traverse City, MI, circa 2007 since, well, 2007! I just loved the picture on the cover. These women are wearing swimsuits like my mother wore in the '50's; I have fond memories of those days with our family at the lake. I cut off the picture from the booklet cover. The sun image was embossed in gold but that doesn't show well in the photo. The sentiment and quote were stamped, trimmed and added to the front of the card along with the sun. It's been snowing here today and I'm longing for beach days!

Vintage at its finest, Claudia! So glad you repurposed the booklet cover because it brings me back to the beginning of my life. I imagine you are dreaming of the beach~

Even in TX it has not been swimsuit weather for a few days. I know you must be longing for beach weather. Snow when it's nearly May is not good. Let's have summer! Love the picture and the quote!

This is gorgeous. I love the vintage photo and reminds me of my childhood at the beach in the UK. I love how you added the sun and the sentiment is perfect. TFS. Happy day

That must have been great sunshine therapy on a snowy (my goodness) day. I love your sun image, and the deckle ending on the sentiment is great for a vintage vibe.
