Walking down Memory Lane

When I bought some Kanban toppers a while back now, whoosh - they took me back down Memory Lane:
I used:

- 6" x 6" square white card blank

- SU's 'Pool Party' card stock

- patterned paper - a magazine freebie ages ago

- topper is Kanban, from their 'Posing Portraits - Retro' sheet

- SU's 'Pool Party' snippet, embossed with one of the two folders in Sizzix's 'Sewing and Measuring Tape' set, backed with a snippet of cream paper

- the sentiment is by Maya Road, from their 'Spool Sentiments' set, stamped with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad onto a snippet of SU's 'Pool Party' and die cut with a circular die. It was then popped onto a punched circle (using SU's 1 and 3/8ths inch punch). I had so little cream card/paper that was close enough to the topper background that I'd punched the circle from the centre of the strip I used behind the 'measuring tape' - bit of forward planning for a change :)

Waaaaay back in the dark ages, I made quite a few dresses like this one and I used to wear my hair just like this in my late teens, although those hairbands did give you a thumping headache at times. The things we suffered for fashion eh? :(
