Sofa, So Good

We have a nice broad sketch from Stamp Ink Paper #114 today - I'm matching it up with SU! Only #182's "blast from the past" theme!  And just for fun, I'm adding in these "primary" colors (yuk, yuk) from Color Throwdown #458!  I also realized I could squeeze in Retro Rubber #90's Back to School theme, but there's a little story, of course...
So, the day designing for all these challenges came up, I got to spend some time watching the shenanigans of my neighbor's daughter preparing to leave for college with her girlfriends, to their brand new first apartment!  That's right, BIG kids move off campus as soon as possible, lol!  So, I kid you not, this card is inspired by watching a crew of 6 girls huffing a truly hideous hand-me-down GREEN couch into the back of someone's truck, in said neighbor's driveway.  Believe me, it was nowhere near as cute as the one on my card, though I did contribute some bright red plaid throw pillows for it, lol.  Sorry, couldn't resist clearing out the guest room (aka, the room of retirement!) closet, and they really NEEDED them, I swear.  The fait is accompli!  Watch out, Colorado, they're on their way now, lol...  (Yes, I do plan on mailing this to them all once their mom gives the word, lol.)

Great story, Heather! The ruffled background is great - it gives extra texture and interest without stealing the show from the main image. Love that cute sofa! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber for our back-to-school challenge.

What a fun story and card to celebrate this young women going off to college!!! I've seen many worn out couches being hauled off to young people's first apartments with lots of enthusiasm and smiley faces.
Thank you for sharing this fun back to school card with us at RETRO RUBBER, hope you play again soon.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
