Cardabilities #80 and 123 Challenge August

Good Morning to you from me!! It is a glorious day outside, and I have done some gardening and now I declare it blog and scrap time!!  I did some scrapping over the weekend too!!

The sketch for CARDABILITIES #80 looks like...
and as I needed a baby shower card I used the sketch to create this little card..
(and yes she is expecting a little girl!)
I love that pram die I have used here..

The challenge for 123 CHALLENGE BLOG is another fabulous one this month... we are to use...

 ..
I went in search of an old photo to suit the vintage technique and found a photo of my Grandad and Grandma and I am totally guessing the date would be about the 1920's.. I have used a copy of the photo as I keep the originals to perhaps use again..

Old Timers.
 and a bit closer.
I have cream colors, the word old and this is my take on vintage!! I have used bits and bots from my stash for this layout!

Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a wonderful day!! and thank you for the comments too, they are day brighteners!!
