We had a great time in southern California visiting family. A highlight was going to an exhibit of vintage travel trailers - they were all decked out with cool stuff from the '40's and 50's. This was part of a
Modernism Week in Palm Springs.
It was a total kick and right up my alley. We own so many of the kitschy accessories that we should get a trailer to keep and display it all, but it isn't happening. I do
not camp!
And, when we returned I found that my new ProCision Fiskars paper trimmer had arrived! You may remember that I won this from the generous and super-talented
Jennifer McGuire.
And, is it delux! The 2-arm system prevents all wiggles and guarantees a straight cut every time. I can't say enough about this trimmer - consider it if you are having trouble with yours. I was considering the Tonic, but I am so delighted with this! Thanks so much, Jennifer!
Finally, for today's card I've used a vintage style which was inspired by the current challenge, called "If I Could Turn Back Time" at
A Blog Named Hero.
I used my new favorite Hero Arts stamp set, Typewriter Notes (CL676), some trims from my stash and some Graphic 45 paper.
I hope to get caught up on all I've missed at your wonderful and inspiring blogs very soon. Thanks for the peek and have a great week!

What a fun exhibit! So cool to see all that stuff but I'm with you on the "no camping" front. I don't enjoy being without my creature comforts!
Fabulous vintage card. Love how the red base makes everything pop especialy the lower right hand image with the touch of red on it.
