Shopping Our Stash - Oldies But Goodies!

Hi there! Welcome to another fun challenge with Shopping Our Stash. Hope everyone had a lovely Memorial Day weekend (my U.S. followers) and that some of you participated in the OWH Blog Hop (always a good time and a great cause!).

This week's awesome challenge with SOS is "Oldies but Goodies"! So dig out the absolute oldest stamp (or digi-stamp) you have and ink that baby up! Show it some love and let's see what you can do. :)

Here's the card I made from one of the very first stamp sets I ever bought.



I can't even remember WHERE I bought it, but the copyright date on the back says 2003. Now, I didn't start stamping until 2007-08, so this one's an oldie but a goodie. And, I remember the rubber being unmounted/uncut and having no clue what to do with it. How funny!

Here's a look at the set in the box:


I wonder if Plaid is still making that set? ;) And, no...my sentiment isn't old. It's new. It's Lawn Fawn. But I don't have any old sentiments that aren't Christmas. HAHHA!!

Can't wait to see what everyone digs up to make an "Oldie but Goodie" card. Make sure to link up at the SOS Challenge blog and to check out all the rest of the Design Team, too. Their blogs are on my sidebar, over ---> there.

Have a great week!

How wonderfully perfect is this card!! I love that sweet, simple flower! The pearls and rounded edge are a great touch and love the ribbon along the bottom!
