Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is to Go Back in Time ~ It may be a new year, but we want you to take us to a decade before the year 2000! You can transport us to your decade via a theme, icon, phrase, image, or stash item. Be sure to tell us the decade!
* * *
I've chosen to go back to the 1950's/1960's with this card! The polka dots, yellow dress color, and Shirley Temple doll look scream out the 50's! The bouffant hair and headband take us into 1960's fashion. As for the background paper and large daisy flower, they are reminiscent of the 1960's.
Now, what you might not know is the American originated word 'nifty' is possibly short for magnificent and has been around since the mid-19th century (1860's).
Now, the little 'jacks' are here representing the game that was very popular in the in 1950's/60's, although this game's origins go waaaay back! ;) I'll let you do the research on that one!
Ok, enough history today! Come share your ideas with us featuring a former decade and don't forget the die cut!!
