Hang on to your fried chicken girls...(my mom always make fried chicken to take on picnics...it was yummy...my little family gets p-nut butter and jelly sandwiches for picnics). The Papertrey Ink Design Team members are introducing a new and irresistible stamp set designed by Nichole Heady with concepts by Mish Wooderson...oh, how I adore it. The set is called Vintage Picnic & Sentiments and you can visit each of our blogs tonight to see all of the images used with oodles of creative ways to use them.
This set is so much fun...so versatile....just perfection :) I chose a fall theme for mine...you know how I feel about pumpkins and woolly socks. I used Dark Chocolate satin ribbon, ink, and cardstock, along with some new Rustic Wood buttons....assorted patterned paper and some Ghirardelli chocolates. I added vintage trim to shabby up the basket a bit and bring in depth...so easy, fast, and fun to create.
Now....off you go. Here are some wonderful links for you to follow...can't wait to check them out for myself.
Enjoy and goodnight.

It's amazing how you can make any set reflect your personal style (which I love by the way!) I was waiting to see what you did, and of course you added that gorgeous lace/ribbon to the basket. Making it a feminine/old fashioned and timeless basket. Such a beautiful interpretation. Thanks for that!

What a beautiful card! I laughed at your comment about fried chicken. So true for me too; if we have chicken on a picnic, it's KFC. I have promised my husband to fry chicken once this year.
