A Really Easy Recipe Challenge

If you're in the mood to make a card but don't want to have to follow a theme, color combo, or inspiration photo how about the easiest recipe challenge you're ever going to find.  This week Cooking It Up With Katie Challenge is to use your three favorite things.  Recipes don't get much easier than that.

The toughest part of this challenge for me was to limit it to three favorite things.  There's definitley more than three of my favorite things on this card but I'll just list the three.  My Favorite Things are paper piecing (the star), machine stitching and charms. 

This stamp makes me think of the 1940's and the Andrew Sisters (here's an old video of them belting out the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy ) so I  inked around the edges of the papers  and used tea dyed lace to get a vintage feel.

don't forget the inside

Here's the deets:
stamp -  My Favorite Things "Blue Without You"
ink - Memento "Tuxedo Black" and Ranger "Antique Linen"
paper - Stampin' Up "Kraft" cs, "Patterns Pack II" dp and "Pawsitively Prints" dp
miscellaneous - copics; mini brads; lace; charm; twine; sewing machine; MFT "Oval Dainty Doily"
