As I turned the pages of Card Creations, Volume 10, one after the other, I was struck by how many stunning projects there were that incorporated these artifacts from a by-gone day, and I was amazed, once again, to realize how long-lasting some trends can be. Check it:
Hello Sweet Lady by Clare Buswell, p. 94
Moxie Fab Alert: Not only does this gorgeous card have a trendy doily as the backdrop for its stunning focal point, the cameo itself is a long-lasting trend. We featured cameos in the Moxie Fabs column in the January/February 2011 issue and here in the Moxie Fab World. Psst...and isn't that color combination to die for?
Lace & Flowers Card by Betsy Veldman, p. 113
Moxie Fab Alert: The lace handkerchief stamped and embossed on this card is about the sweetest thing I've seen in a while, and I see A LOT of very sweet things. (And I can't get over how real it looks. I was expecting the supplies and instructions to say that Betsy had used a handkerchief she found in a cherished treasure box!)
Elegant Mother's Day Card by Windy Robinson, p. 116
Moxie Fab Alert: Can you say holy cow drop-dead gorgeous of a Mothers Day card? Again, the lace element has been stamped, proving that the possibilities are truly endless when it comes to incorporating this trend into your paper crafted projects.

I had to ponder on this one for awhile but I'm really happy with the result. Thanks for the challenge!
Now that I've made my card I thought of a different way to do it to make it look more lacy. It was a fun challenge and I've never done a white on white card. I love these challenges as I stretch doing them.
Thanks for helping me get out an unused new tool and put it to good use with a great challenge. As usual, there are many entries that are fabulous! Good luck Cath, it's gonna be a tough choice!
As a mom to 3 boys, it's always fun to work with a little lace. thanks for a fun challenge!

While sorting through my cutting files I came across the file I used on my second entry here. It was begging me to make another card. Surprisingly I've enjoyed making a more girly card. Thanks for this challenge.
I am slowly working my way through all of your challenge and it has really been fun! Today, I had a wedding card to make for a young couple getting married this weekend and this seemed like the perfect challenge to use with making that type of card! Thanks for all the great inspiration too!
Perfect challenge for a wedding card!
This is a nice bright variation. I might have to do a soft feminine one next!
This was so much fun to make. I really enjoyed the making a super girly card this time! Thanks for the challenge.

Great challenge! love doilies and lace and this challenge made me determined to finally add a doily to a card!
Love this challenge....I don't often make "pretty" cards....this one pushed my boundaries!!
Ok....can I say....something "odd" happened....my name just double posted....one was a card from the watercolor butterfly challenge....I don't know why, and don't know if there is any way to remove it! Please disregard that one.....sorry!
