change will do you good

Hysterical isn't it?  Thank goodness we DO change!  I used a page from an old yearbook.  (Yes, it's authentic!) and my favorite Tim Holtz saying.

 
I was inspired by the sketch at Unscripted Sketches.  I knew I wanted to use the yearbook old page, but I wanted to have a modern edge, so I mixed in some enamel dots for a contemporary vintage card.  I love it when a plan comes together:)

    Well this is just so darn creative! I've never seen an old yearbook page on a card before. Love it with the enamel dots! Great sentiment.

    This is wonderful! You asked what ink I used and your account doesn't allow me to email you, so I'm letting you know here that it is the Versamagic Night Sky. You can find a link to it in the inlinkz right in my post. I try to include as many of the products I use in those as possible! :)
