Happy New Year and blessing and peace to all this year!

Here is our kit for this month. It is themed "Got Mustache" and has a vintage cabinet card photo that I have had in my stash for a long time. The papers go well with the photo and there are mustache sequins, a mustache brad, and dark brown waxed linen to wrap around your ATC with some brown beads to tie on the end.



This is what is included in this kit:

I chose to use an old paper back that I bought from the Close to my Heart company. It is from their Silhouette Paper Pack.

1 - 2/ 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in. ATC cut from the cream solid colored paper
1 - 1 in. x 4 in. piece cut from the striped patterned paper
1 - 1/2 in. x 4 in. piece cut from the black solid colored included in the pack. This has been cut on one side with zigzag scissors
1 - cut portion of an antique dictionary so it has a nice aged patina look
1 - image of a vintage cabinet card that I have had in my stash for 20 years. He fits perfect with our mustache theme!
1 - word phrase, "Got mustache", instead of Got Milk, haha
1 - piece of 3/8 width black lace ribbon

1 - small pinch of glass beads in shades of brown, amber and black.
1 - piece of dark brown waxed linen cord to thread the beads onto. Wrap the thread around your ATC and tie in front then add the beads onto both end of the thread and tie a knot on the end so the beads don't fall off.
