Beauty of the Season.

 Hello everyone: I'm always hoping and praying that you and your families are doing well, keeping each other safe and wearing your masks.

My husband and I will go and get our first vaccine shot this Thursday, March 18th.  We haven't gotten a vaccine since we were little kids, we never got the flu vaccine so this will be a new experience, I'll let you know how it went.

Note Cards for Retro Rubber.

Hello everyone: As always, I pray that you and your families are doing ok, staying healthy and safe and wearing your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello and welcome to another RETRO RUBBER challenge.

This time it's the very popular theme of "Anything Goes", this is what I created to inspire you to play along. Don't forget that the most important rule of this challenge is for you to use your OLDER THAN ONE YEAR stamps, if you can tell us how old they are, that would be awesome.

*****************************************************

This is what I created following THIS VIDEO TUTORIAL from the very talented Julie DiMatteo that I watched over her blog "The Paper Pixie".

This is what I used.

All the DSP is from my dwindling stash from Lili of the Valley.

The image is from Cas-ual Fridays "Mon Ami" stamp set.

Colored it with Prismacolor Pencils.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you stop by the RETRO RUBBER challenge blog to get more inspiration from my awesome teammates.

Stay healthy and safe.
