Hi everyone. 🙂
I have a scrappy card to share today. I literally used scraps for the whole thing (except the base). I have a hard time tossing the smallest of scraps so once in a while, I challenge myself to use them. (I haven’t forgotten that my friend, Lynette, challenged me to not use patterned paper. I’ve actually made two attempts but they were both pitifully sad. I’ll keep trying though.)

On this card I’ve used a new set, Sew Special, designed by my friend, Julia. She’s so very talented in so many ways. The set is available today (here).
I had intended (and very much wanted to) stitch on this card, but my psychotic sewing machine decided to take a break. I guess I’ll spend some time today trying to fix the darn thing. I need to sew about 20 patches on a Brownie vest by Thursday and I am NOT doing it by hand. I get so frustrated when things don’t work. I don’t care HOW they work, I just want them TO work.
This image in the set brought back so many memories for me. My grandmother had a machine very similar to this one. I suppose she made alot of her own clothes or clothes for her children. My mom used to make my clothes. I think it scarred me for life…pants in a fake denim print with bananas in various degrees of peel…WTH was she thinking?? Lol. (I tease her all the time about those pants so if she reads this, I know she’ll laugh and not be insulted. I appreciate her efforts. But bananas? Mom, really? I think they might have even had faces.)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
