Penny-Farthing
The old British Penny and Farthing (quarter & penny) coins inspired the name of the Penny-Farthing bicycle. I never really knew that. Looked it up on my go-to Wikipedia. This card is the second in my Sale-a-brations series using the awesome Feeling Sentimental set. I’m just not sure how I am going to be able to live without this set when it retires in just a few weeks.

Sentimental Journey
Here’s a man card for ya. The Feeling Sentimental stamp set is my absolute favorite from this year’s Sale-a-bration collection. The images bring back some fond memories.
On this card I used the Night of Navy Classic Ink Pad and applied ink directly onto the top side of the embossing folder. Then I inserted the Crumb Cake layer and ran it through the Big Shot. Love how this turned out.

Man Card Takes The Podium
As the 2012 Olympics comes to a close, I asked my stamp camp customers to select the card from yesterday's stamp camp, to take the Gold. This card was it—unanimous decision. And not the Silver Medal either.
