Wow this was fun! Julie sat in for Sharon this week, thanks Julie! " In Stitches " was today's challenge. I totally love all the cards/projects I see using a sewing machine. I've never owned one and wish the fad would fade! Since it hasn't I've had to adjust my papercrafting to include faux stitching:) You can see the challenge at Sharon's blog! I used my matpack and markers on this card. The yummy designer paper is made by Cosmo Cricket . I bought mine from Jacksonbelle. The stamps are Inkadinkado also from Jacksonbelle. I hope you like my take on the challenge!
