Prepare your purses people!
The “sad” part is they won’t ship till end of July.
I have to say I adore this particular image to pieces. When I saw this raccoon-called Thinking of You, I about fell out of my chair. It brought back a great memory from my childhood!
When I was a child, my Aunt Becky would ALWAYS send me the cutest animal stickers with a card for my birthday. She LOVED raccoons, and would always make sure the stickers were FUZZY!! I loved them! I would just feel them all the time. I always felt special, that she remembered me on my birthday. I loved collecting stickers!
I had a HUGE Pink sticker book, with a pretty Unicorn and rainbow in it. While posting this I got sidetracked for over 2 hours TRYING to find that same book online! I loved that book, and was always very particular about WHERE I put WHAT stickers. I remember that album like it was yesterday! I’m sad typing this because I have ALL my toys in MINT condition from my childhood (yes I was OCD about my dolls when I was a girl!) and for the LIFE of me, I cannot remember where that book is, or what happened to it! So I made this card, all the while thinking about those special memories as a girl. I also thought it was funny that I remembered the sheer JOY of getting a card in the mail! I feel like my journey towards this craft started so long ago! LOL!
This is the close up photo of my raccoon, that I flocked, in honor of my childhood stickers.
L ike I did as a girl, I just reminisced as I rubbed the cute fuzzy image.
I colored it just like I remembered the stickers I use to receive. She would also always include SOMETHING with my NAME on it! Back in the 80’s Lauren was NOT popular, at all! So I loved having something personalized.
Now given the “mail” theme going on, I have had the Post Card Sizzix die cut for AGES! I dusted it off and got some more use from it with this card. I also used the mini envelope/card Sizzix die I had too. So fun. Its is no nice to be reminded of times like that. I so love this hobby This card brough back so much to me.
Anywho, thanks for stopping by ! I’d love to hear too, if you have a memory to share from your childhood.
Maybe a certain toy or something that you loved and lost (like me :C)
Thanks for sharing.
I had a sticker book, I remember trading stickers with my friends, I STILL have them!!!! An entire box of stickers. I remember the little fuzzy ones, and scratch n sniff. I had so much fun with my stickers! The card you made is absolutely beautiful!
Oh my goodness Lauren, i fell in love with these designs the first time i saw them. Ive place a pre-order and have been told they will be here at the end of July, i just can not wait. I am loving this card hunny you’ve highlighted this image beautifully, such a very pretty card. Takes me back to my childhood for some strange reason!! Have a lovely week, hugs Linda x
Awwww, these images are going to gut my savings account, yes indeed!! This card is adorable and what a sweet memory. I, like you, had a sticker book (well, turned into several as I got older) started out with one my aunt gave me from a thrift store, already full of someone elses treasures that I LOVED adding to. Our era had TONS of great stickers, scratch n sniff, fuzzies… I remember going to the stationary section of the grocery store just to stare at them as a kid. And now we have Stampavie providing images that we can colour ourselves and send out to the little ones in our lives, awwwwww. Too perfect.
