Hi Everyone,
Don't you just love a card that tickles your funny bone? Well, I hope this one does it!
I so would rather be doing something crafty, than washing floors or cleaning the stove. Even with my smooth cook top range, it's one of my least favorite chores!
I think the retro look of Josephine the Bold and Dear Housework sentiment (both from the recent release at DRS Designs) are just over the top :) Since the image was a throwback, I made a little yo-yo embellishment and took the color inspiration for the card, from the material I used.
After stamping my Interlocking Circles background, I colored them in to match and I used white embossing powder, as well as the new Retro Starburst stamp for the back drop to my card.
Have you checked out the stamps in the new releases section yet? Lots of great designs and I know you will love them :)

That sentiment is too funny!
Made me smile... so true for me... I would much rather be doing cards rather than housework even though card making and typing on the computer are causing repetitive stress related stuff to me.
Love her muscles!!! Lol.

Such a fun card Karin, love your homemade backgrounds! Great saying too!
ROTFL!!! GREA-AAATE card, Karin! I'm glad the sentiment says "dear housework" and not "dear housewife". Gosh, women are wonderful, aren't they? Love the 40s-50s flavor of your card.
What a cute card Karin! Love all the details and the layout of this card!
This is fabulous!! I, too, was smiling after seeing this card. Love the retro feel =)
