Now for a bit about my card... Did you grow up with these in your kitchen? I surely did. There was the pink casserole dish in which my mother always made her most delicious mac and cheese. The primary color bowls in different shapes that bring her coleslaw and potato salad and so many other wonderful things to mind.
Concord & 9th recently released a stamp and die set called "Kitchen Classics" that pays homage to these wonderful vintage cookware pieces. The minute I saw them, I just had to have them. They are so fun and nostalgic, and they were my choice for this challenge. I picked Repeat and Ribbon. If I were to stretch it, I'd pick Place too, because of the sweet and happy place I went in my mind and heart with this card.
Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Jaydee and the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us. I can't wait to see your Pick 2 projects!

I'm also playing at:
All of the trim on the cookware and the sentiment are heat embossed. I love heat embossing because it makes the stamped images pop in a beautiful way. It's magical to see the images come alive as the embossing powder melts. This technique got me started with stamping MANY years ago!

This is adorable! Of course we all had some of those bowls or dishes in our moms' kitchens and now they're worth LOTS! I love all the pretty colors you chose and I might just have to check out this set for myself!
Oh my gosh, what a cute set and, like LeAnne, I love the colors you used! This is just darling, Stephanie!
Yes, my mom had a few but my MIL still has some! I love that set and have had my eye on it - guess I'll just have to come borrow yours?
LOve your pretty open shelf to display all of these darling stacks in fabulous colors!

CAS and oh so perfect Stephanie! That photo brought back memories for me too...my mom always made her famous potato salad in the turquoise one! I love the repeat of the bowls and the sentiment is the perfect addition! Sweet, sweet card my friend! Hugs. :0)
P.S. I hope you had a wonderful birthday this week and got seriously spoiled! And some cake too! :0)
Like I said on Insta, this adorable card reminds me of a cool kitchen with fun dishes and bowls on shelves instead of in cabinets. Great idea for a layout and your colors are fab.
Stephanie... What an adorable idea!! Loving it... and laughing. They are literally measuring for a new island as I write this...and I have my dishes stacked everywhere!
Yes, I did grow up with these in our kitchen! What great colors used and fun stacking of them! Julia xx
I still have my set of 4 bowls and use them all the time! They were a wedding gift and will be 59 years old in August. If my hubby does the dishes he says he's nervous when he washes them. LOL
Completely smitten with your stacked bowls; I want a set in real life! Thrilled to see you in the Just Us Girls gallery.

That's taken me right back to 1977!!! A fabulous make and the embossed detail is terrific. Thank you for sharing at AYLI. Sarah
It's so heartwarming that those dishes conjured up such wonderful memories, Stephanie. Right now I have my Mom's set of Corning Ware with blue flowers on display at the lake.
This card made me think of my Mom! How wonderful!
