I loved using Domestic Goddess DSP when I put this card together for PPA's sketch challenge. It is wonderfully retro and makes me think about life at home way back when. Reminds me of that "I'm so old" game. Some of you must have played that game a time or two! I'll start: I'm so old I remember catching the squished clothes and shaking them out to hang after my mother put them through the wringer of the wash machine! Your turn..........
This is just a walk down memory lane! I love this set too but didn't break down & get it yet. AND I do remember my neighbors putting their clothes in a wringer washer!!! Let's see...I remember my grandmother having a PARTY LINE phone number!! EEEK!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of your card and the little clothespins ... cute! I remember my grandmother's kitchen table with metal legs, chairs with plastic seats and a tablecloth that looks like your DSP.
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, this card is fantastic!!!!! Sheeesh!! let's see.....Oh, I know.....I remember when there were only 5 tv. channels and you had to get up to change them. Goodness!!!!! I'm old, 60 years old to be exact!!

Linda, you have a wonderful writing flair! I always enjoy your comments with the cards! And this card is nothing short of CUTE... Just LOVE your use of the clothespins.
ReplyDeleteI am so old that I remember my grandparents having an out house. Also remember when air conditioning in vehicles were an after thought and LEAKED onto the floorboard. :)
Linda this is ADORABLE! I just got those clothespins but haven't use them yet! Speaking of clothespins....
ReplyDeleteI'm so old I remember putting the clothes pins in the hanging cloth sack that hung on the line...AND my mom hung the laundry outside until the snow flew... so taking down the "frozen" wash was always embarrassing to me! Hugs.
Linda, this card is so cute and you're right, it does remind me of "I'm so old"...so here goes. I'm so old that I remember being able to walk to the gas station, bring 50 cents, and buy a half gallon of milk from the milk machine. And, riding the Chicago bus lines for 50 cents and they had the old "electric" lines (street cars). Oh... to be young again (I'm 61).
ReplyDeleteLove your ribbon treatment!
ReplyDeleteHugs, M
Great job, Linda. I can almost see those clothespins wringing out the wet ribbon! (Too far?! LOL)
ReplyDeleteMike
Oooh, I might not be good about this, but here goes. I'm so old, I remember when Sesame Street first aired! (lame, I know...)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute way to use those mini clothespins! great translation of the sketch this week.
ReplyDeleteNostalgic card, for sure! I'm so old I remember party lines on our phone and daily only 4 numbers to reach someone! AND on those good old bakelite black phones!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the sketch - different but very much in keeping with it!
ReplyDeletethis is such a sweet nostalgic card linda-love the dsp-I remember buying records to listen to music-45 rpm's to be exact-that was before the 8 track players hit the scene (lol)!!
ReplyDeleteAnother Linda Callahan favorite! I love your style, friend! This is just too fun! Love the clothespins! I'm so old I remember the filling station attendants running to the car as soon as my mother pulled the car into the station and up to the pump! They cleaned the windshield, checked the tires, checked the oil and water, filled up the tank, took the money, brought back the change, and did it all with a smile, a thank you, and a "Come back again!" as we pulled away! You just can't get service like that anymore!
ReplyDeleteAnother great card, Linda! I love Domestic Goddess too. I'm so old I remember when cars didn't have seatbelts!
ReplyDeletethat is a beautiful card!! I love how you used the clothsepins on it!!! very wow! tfs
ReplyDeleteMona
So great! What a wonderful idea to marry the clips and this stamp set. You are a rock star!
ReplyDeleteSo so cute Linda, love the clothespins...I remember when we used a rotary phone! A few years ago my kids asked me "how does this phone work" when visiting my parents who still have one!
ReplyDeleteLinda, this card is sooooooo cute, I just love it and your use of the darling clothespins. I'm so old I too remember the wash hanging on the line and the clothespins in a little hanging bag (as well as ironing sheets and pillow cases)! Guess what (Diane too) I still have my mother's last clothespin bag as a keepsake. Also... I'm so old I remember inviting all our friends in to watch black and white TV in the afternoon after school!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable, Linda! You create the cutest cards! And I am so old...I remember watching the Howdy Doody show as a kid! You rock, Buffalo Bob!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Linda! Fantastic job highlighting this wonderful DSP and that ribbon treatment with the clothespin is FAB! I don't think I can beat the clothespin memory but...I'm so old, I remember wearing leg warmers to school...the FIRST time they were popular! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLinda, how do you do it? Every time, you do something really cool and fun, with yet another product I didn't think I "needed". That ribbon treatment rocks! Speaking of...I'm so old, I remember rocking out to my mom's Beatles and Bee Gee's albums on an LP . Thankfully I still have my smooth dance moves...well, at least I think I do. Haha! :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, Great card. I had to laugh when I read all the comments. I am so old I remember all those things that everyone said. Ann remembered Howdy Doody. I remember taking my son to be on that show! I also remember when the TV had a test pattern on it! The programs only ran certain hours not all day!
