When I was first asked if I wanted to work on several shabby and vintage cards for the book, I was thrilled! Hello, creating shabby cards is my favorite thing to do. I spent some time looking through my favorite galleries and thinking about all of the elements I'd want to include in my card. The only challenge I faced, was narrowing it down. (Yeah, I had enough ideas to do a whole book!)
I love all things soft, worn, pastel-y ( I know, not a word), glittery, flowery and vintage. This is why I love the shabby style so much. And I love that it's such a hot trend in papercrafting right now.
So, the purpose of today's blog hop is twofold. You get more inspiration and you get the chance to win an awesome prize package.
First for the inspiration:
Kraft and cream are my favorite shabby/vintage colors. I added some Prima paper, a MME tag, Melissa Frances heart, and Jenni Bowlin die cut paper. I painted the MM frame and added glitter to it. The pin, button and trim are all vintage.
So, where can you get this awesome book? Right HERE.
And you know there has to be a prize package included in this blog hop.
Be sure to check out the Moxie Fab World Blog as well as the Paper Crafts Blog to see a peek of what you are trying to win!
Now, it's time for you to leave me. But don't be sad, because I'm sending you to one of my most favorite scrappy friends. I'm sure you'll love her card and her post will leave you smiling!
But, before you go, leave a comment for a chance to win. Let me know what your favorite 'shabby/vintage' supply is. And comment on the other 17 designers' blogs as well as PC and MFW blogs for a total of 20 chances! (All comments must be posted by Sunday, July 18.

This is super sweet and romantic..I love Melissa Frances products...
I love lace and ribbon for "shabby chic".
Love the card. I need to become more adventurous when it comes to the vintage style.
Your layers are so well thought out and so delish!
Your projects really are eye candy ;o)
Crochet trims (made myself or vintage finds) make me smile and get my creative juices flowing.
Can I just say, "Wow!" Beautiful card. :)
Shabby and Vintage is not a look that I do well. But on others' projects I love those cute little doilies and snips of vintage lace.
Oh, I llllllloooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvveeee this look. Wonderful
Mmmm layers of glittery goodness.......I wish I could!
I have to try! TFS
Annabelle, I have to admit that if you had asked me about my favorite shabby supply without listing yours I probably wouldn't have been able to come up with one! I have tried to do vintage/shabby but it just never looks right when I do it. I do, however, use a lot of the same supplies that you do. My favorite would have to be kraft cardstock. It goes with everything!
I love to use Vintage Photo Distress Ink on my vintage cards...plus ivory crocheted lace. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card. :)
I'm so drawn to this style, but I can't seem to master it. I adore the flower on it and I absolutely love distress ink!
