When You Look This Good ...

... or clean or do the grocery shopping, or whatever. goodness, with that hair, who'd have the time...? this is my card (did you notice the retro-style radiator intentionally photographed?) for the latest awesome challenge at moxie fab world. i wanted to use 'bubblegum' colours and was going to add some stitching but decided i wanted the focus on the image and wording, so i kept it simple.

i had the idea in my head for ages, but it took some time to find the right image. i found it on a graphic design site (thanks stef!), check it out.ahh... the gold old days. this is a sample of one the ads on the site... where the women kept smiling whether they were cooking, cleaning, it was that time of the month, they had constipation, or a nasty rash. it's amazing how much emotion they used in those ads... including fear, guilt, embarrassment, etc to sell stuff. i know they still do that these days, but less obviously of course. i also downloaded some retro women photoshop brushes here.

i've been saving these images in my 'blog folder' since forever, waiting for the perfect opportunity to have something witty to say on my blog, but that seems like that isn't going to happen ever anytime soon, so the current moxie fab challenge seemed like a great reason to post them :) enjoy!
