Throwback Thursday: Here for You


Hey everyone!

Happy Thursday!! And welcome to the FIRST Throwback Thursday here at MTE!! Every Thursday I will be choosing one of my OLD projects and using it to inspire a NEW project :) Isn't it fun to see how far we've come and how our styles have changed? 

Here's this week's Throwback:



This is a card I shared back in March 2012.

Annnnnd, here's what I came up with:


See the similar layout?
I stamped the chevron on the left in place of the cupcake paper and colored it with my copics. The adorable map and sentiment are from the Unity Stamp Company Itty Bitty Here For You Map. All colored with my copics of course :) I even outlined the sentiment to mimic the border on the sentiment in the throwback photo.

And here's a close up for you:


Pretty different eh? I love to see how my style has evolved. I think I have a much more graphic and CAS style now than I did a year ago, and I've moved from using pre-made embellishments to making my own by stamping and coloring :)


By the way, if you notice a similar color scheme and overall feel to yesterday's card, it's because I still have Runway Inspired Challenge #39 on my mind! That's right, I actually managed to whip up TWO cards for this challenge!! 


So what do you guys think? Do you like the idea of Throwback Thursday?? Let me know in the comments!
