This week's Blogger's Challenge Friday theme required us to use either a photo or something from a magazine in our design. I opted for the magazine option, and chose an ad from my Martha Stewart Living magazine.
The ad is for the new Martha Stewart line of kitchen wares at Macy's. I spent more time looking at all of the gadgets and goodies on the ad page than actually making this card! I think the ad makes a fun background image for this Crafty Secrets Party Queen on her birthday! The card is kind of retro looking, with colors in turquoise, green and orange. I dig it the most. 
Very clever using an ad for the background! Love it!

This is perfect! I love the retro look! You can't even tell the bg is from a magazine.
