And now for something a little different...
stamp sets - Post Card (retired), Post Script, unknown Oz stamp; ink - Blueberry Bushel; card stock - Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel
Bright, isn't it? I was going for the feeling you got when you first watched the movie, The Wizard of Oz, and Dorothy left the black & white drabness of Kansas and woke up in the Technicolor land of Oz. My mother was born in 1933, when movies were black & white. The Wizard of Oz was her favorite childhood movie memory. When I was young, most television was black & white; after color sets became available The Wizard of Oz was a special, annual affair. I remember watching it as a neighborhood gathering at one family's house - 6 adults and 9 children - and there was a collective gasp of awe when that color burst onto the screen.
I was at a paper craft roadshow last year and found this little stamp - I had to have it! I would have sworn I was at the Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda booth, but the stamp isn't in their catalogs, so who knows where I found it? If you know, please tell me! Whoever made the stamp, it's perfect for the current challenge at Lost Coast Portal - Follow the Yellow Brick Road.

This is fabulous Kathi, what a fun childhood memory, I still remember our first colour TV, it was as big front to back as the screen lol. Thank you so much for joining in with our Oz challenge, and have a very happy weekend, Sue xx
Nice card and post, Kathe! Thank you for participating in this week's challenge over on the Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity Blog!
Cute post card and love your interpretation. I remember the first time I saw the movie as a child and the “Ahh!” Moment when it goes from B&W to color. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge.
Very cute postcard and I love the Oz stamp. Linda says it is from Carmen's Veranda, so you remembered correctly. Thanks for joining the fun at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. Hugz
