My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #426

I recently rediscovered this adorable retired MFT set in my stash.  It brings back many memories for me of clothes (including my wedding dress) and doll clothes that were sewn by my mom and grandma.  Sweet memories!! The current sketch challenge provided the perfect opportunity to give the Sew Nifty Die-namics and stamp set some inky love. I started by selecting designer papers from My Mind's Eye Sunshine paper pad.  The base panel was machine stitched with my sewing machine that I've had since college.  I love adding machine stitching to my projects.  A great embellishment, easy and cheap! The dress forms were die cut with coordinating paper.  A pearl accent, silver die cut scissors and sentiment finish the card.  Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!  Do you pull out older sets and ink them up?  I definitely need to do this more often.  I'm sharing my card with the following: My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch:...

Moxie Fab World: I'm Sew Excited!

When I saw the terrific inspiration provided over on the Moxie Fab World Blog I knew I wanted to use this fun, retro design by Tim Holtz. The challenge theme is sewing related. The main image (don't you love the pill box hat) was paper pieced. Buttons, lace and measuring tape twill have been added. Hope you get a chance to join in the fun! Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a look.

Moxie Fab World: I'm Sew Excited!

I'm Sew Excited! ... that I happened over on to the Moxie Fab World blog and found this fun challenge posted which involves anything sewing themed. Being from a long line of seamstresses, it was only natural to create a couple of projects for the challenge. :-) This little card was created using a Gina K Designs stamp set called " Sew Pretty ". It's a fun retro sewing themed set designed by Asela Hopkins. I've combined it with October Afternoon papers and Stampin' Up! Kraft as a base. I found these adorable scissor brads at my LSS. The perfect finishing touch! Thanks for taking the time to stop by! Hope you have a chance to create a sewing themed card this week for the Moxie Fab challenge!
