Good morning everyone...can you believe it's Thursday already.....is it just me or is time moving way tooo fast???!!! We have been busy getting ready for our church garage sale this weekend...I will be working it all day Friday. Saturday we have our DGS Ryan's football game and our DGD Caitlyn's birthday party. Grandpa built her a playhouse for the backyard...it's 6'x6' ( big enough for her mom and dad to play, too) with shutters on the plexiglass windows and a little porch on the front. He tiled the floor and painted the inside with chalk paint so she can write all over the walls...tooo fun!!! Anyway...after riding the horses last evening (btw...midnight's eye is much better!!!)I finally settled into the craft room to make this card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #17 and the Color Throw Down Challenge to use Perfect Plum, Early Espresso, and Vanilla.The images from Waltzingmouse's Sewing Box Hugs set were paper pieced with vairous designer paper scraps amd popped up with dimensionals. The brown ribbon was scrunched under the sentiment, sewing was done around the edges, and pearls were added for a little glam. Pretty simple but sooo much fun to make!!!
Recipe:
Stamps: Sewing Box -Hugs
Paper: Vanilla, Perfect Plum, Chocolate Chip, Designer paper scraps: Stampin Up, Basic Grey
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Accessories: Sewing Machine, Pearls, Ribbon
Thanks for stopping by today...hope all is well in your little corner of the world!!!!
