The monthly swap at
Addicted to Scrap was on Thursday last week and this month's theme was Roaring 20's or Vintage. I opted to go with vintage because I'd already printed the images out for another swap and didn't use them. The image is courtesy of
Shelly's Flickr Group
Past Portraits.
Addicted also has a quarterly swap going for each season and Autumn came around really quickly. This card started off great with a piece of grungy yellow and white striped scrapbook paper, but then I decided to grunge it up more with walnut ink and didn't like it anymore as the stamped image of the tree kind of blended into the background. So I carefully restamped the tree with clear ink and embossed it, added some flower soft (that the lovely Laura Carson sent with a swap return from the USA) and it's kind of growing on me.
Ferg and I went up to Maleny on the weekend and had a fantastic time, so I'll post some pictures in my next post once they're downloaded from my camera.

Oh, wow, I LOVE what you did with the PP photo !! Fantastic card, Diana. He looks so dashing. Gorgeous details. . . really love this one.
The autumn trees card is beautiful. It looks so soft and warm. The embossing worked out well in the end. I never could master that . . . just a big mush of ink and powder for me !!
