Replaced by Clifford the Big Red Dog and other children's classics, my Art History textbooks/novels/bibles have long been neglected and almost forgotten, having been subjected to a top shelf in my old room at my parents' house. If I had them here, I would flip them open to the pages featuring the wonderful art deco artwork from the 1920's. Beautiful, bold colors and shapes.Vintage goodness.
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for so many things in my life-too many to list!

ReplyDeleteI don't know how I've been missing your RSS feeds in blogger? I LOVE your use of the embossed background on this card. I've been mulling over embossing ideas in my head for a while now but hadn't been able to come up with something I loved. You absolutely nailed it, as usual. I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy the holiday this month!
