Then... and Now.... - I'm Dying here!!!

 I decided to break out a couple of stamps
that I don't think I've used since last year
when I bought them.

So as I began stamping, and then coloring
the thought crossed my mind to look and see
if I happened to have taken a picture of the card
I made last year.  OHHHH BOY!
Sure enough I did!!!

Since I'm finished with my card THIS YEAR
I figured I'd give you all a good laugh...
You can all laugh with my permission
simply because I just couldn't believe
the difference a year makes.

My Stamps are the Pilgrim boy and the Pilgrim Girl
from "Stamp 'n Plus Scrap 'n"
(Mary Helen Gould Harvest Collection)
and while I thought I had made a pretty creative card last year
I look back now, and say to myself
"What Was I Thinking?"
LOL

Well hey, I was still fairly new at card making at that time.
So now a year later, I can compair and see the differences.
I wonder what NEXT year will be like!
I may just have to use these stamps again and see!

Okay here you go....

That was THEN
&
This is NOW


I just HAD to share this with you,
I know I had a good laugh over it, so I thought
I'd let you laugh too!
I am DEFINITELY going to say that this years card
looks SO MUCH BETTER!

The white card part is stamped with a Maple Leaf
in fall colors, and the sentiment was computer generated.
DP's are from the Debbie Mumm "Harvest & Holiday" collection.

Hope you are all having a Great Tuesday!

Well Lynda I love the one you have just made it is great those are cute little characters but to tell you the truth I am not laughing at the first one either because it is also very lovely your talent has increased a lot but you still had it then.

Both your cards are so cute! I still like the old one too. :) It's how I make cards sometimes. Your coloring has changed but I bet if you used the same layout today it would still be beautiful. :) Love the falling leaves.
