How Sweet!

Published by Shel9999 at 5:49 am under My Designs, My Favorite Things

HS4Here’s a sneak peek at one of the five new sets by My Favorite Things to be released October 1st, How Sweet it Is.   Every day through October 1st, I’ll be posting a sample for a different set, so please check back!

This set is all about sisters and chocolate.  Since I don’t have any sisters, I just went for the chocolate. :)

I’ve had some crafting “issues” this week.  This one was mechanical (as opposed to the physical one I’ll tell you about later-lol).  When I was stitching the zig-zag, my bobbin got all freaky and caused THE biggest wad of thread on the back of this card that I have EVER seen.  It was eNORmous!!!  When I cut away the mess, some of the stitching came out…thus, the vertical green strip.  Slight change in layout plans…but I *always* look for a way to hide the boo-boos if possible! 

Let’s see…other details…The patterned paper is Webster’s Pages (called “Snickerdoodle”…yum!) designed by Terri Conrad.  I used a marker to color the vanilla ribbon and the chair is popped up on dimensionals.  I think that’s about it!

Thanks for stopping by! Don’t forget to check back tomorrow.  I’ll have another sneak peek, this time from my favorite of the new release sets!  Have a great day!

    Your cards are beautiful - I love how you incorporate stitching with the paper. I also like to do that. Very fun to look at!

    Okay Michele, too darling! I want a little sitting room in my house to look just like this! BTW, you can be a sister in my hood, come on over to my blog and read how…”Heroes in the Hood - Sisterhood”
