Sew Nice

Hi again! Just dropping in to share a cute little sewing theme card I whipped up the other day. I took a well-deserved daycation from my sewing machine on Veterans Day ... and made some cards ... about sewing! Go figure.(Note: please excuse the poor photo ... took this late at night.)
Anyway, I made four of these really quickly using an assembly-line style production. Die cut all the labels, stamped the machines, stamped the sentiments, cut the background paper, glued it all together and added some ribbon. That paper is "sew fun" and I made 2 with this color way and two with the papers flip flopped.

I am finding that I really enjoy the 3.5 x 5 cards lately ... they are just cute ... and I think my design layout looked better on this size than a larger 4.25 x 5.5 card for this one. A few of our Sew Lux customers may just get one of these in with their order ;-)

That's all for now! Thanks "sew much" for stopping by! :-)

Thanks Veterans

Just dropping in to say thank you to all those who have served and are currently serving our great country! Which wouldn't be so great without all the freedoms you protect for us. So, again, thank you!

Thanks for stopping by!

You're Sew Nice

Hey y'all! It's been a pretty big (and long) week already and its only the end of Wednesday ... so far this week I have survived my 30th birthday, open house/meet the teacher night and today the first day of school ... including all 102 of my students among my three classes. Just two more days until the weekend!

Since I had a birthday, I have a bunch of thank you notes to write and distribute to some pretty sweet folks. Here's one I made the other night from my scrap pile. I love the colors and patterns, but I think my design is a wee bit off balance. But hopefully the recipient won't really care too much about that! :-)
Got another good bow on this one. ;-) A few of you have asked me about maybe doing a bow tutorial. But being a teacher, I learned a long time ago that there's no need to reinvent the wheel if you don't have to. Here's one that I like and learned from created by Dawn. Give it a go, girls! :-)

Alright ... I'm off to relax! Talk atchya soon! :-)

Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday folks! I hope your week is going great thus far! :-) I have a quick birthday card to share with you today. I used the Hero Arts wood grain background stamp and then cut some flowers and leaves, inked and distressed them and added them on. Its hard to see in the photo, but the sentiment is popped up on foam tape. Quick and easy - just what I needed last night! :-) That's all for now ... will be back later this week with more to share.

Thanks for stopping by!
