USE YOUR STUFF - Challenge #258 - Polaroids

It's my turn to choose this week's challenge over at USE YOUR STUFF. I used to own a Polaroid camera (uh oh - I think I'm showing my age...) I took lots of photos with that camera (it may still be around in a box somewhere).  I think it's cool that the Polaroid "look" is showing up on cards and layouts.

Here's my card:

Patterned Paper: Close to My Heart
Sentiment Stamp: Close to My Heart
Cardstock: Bazzill
White cardstock (to make the polaroid frame): Recollections
Vellum: unknown
Sequins: ArtMind
Gold Embossing Powder: unknown (had it forever)
Enamel Dot: unknown
"50" stickers: American Crafts Thickers
Pink lace: unknown, bought at Michaels

Note: I fussycut the flowers on the corner of the frame from the patterned paper

Now let's check out with the other gals at USE YOUR STUFF have come up with for this challenge.
