Quilted postcards. Really? How cool is that? As most people know that have read this blog for a while, I have a special fondness for textile arts such as sewing, knitting, crocheting and embroidery for example. These are all skills that I greatly admire but personally have absolutely no talent at. When I came across today's shop, I was instantly intrigued and after a little exploring, I knew I had to share Linda's beautiful artwork with all my readers.SewUpscale on Etsy is a little shop ran by Linda John... read more »
Purple Birthday!I have a big family so I am always busy making birthday cards. This one is for my sister who lives in Florida. I used my new Marianne Design Butterfly die. I have used this before with gold paper so I wanted to try a "color" butterfly. Purple is a very regal color and since I love it so much it became the theme. The paper is from Basic Grey Wisteria collection. I bought this last year at the Manchester Convention in Manchester, NH and used it once or twice. Good time to bring it out again... read more »
This is a fun Easter basket to make. I had a Stampin up party last weekend and we made these. If you go to www.stamptv.com the instructions for this basket are there and so easy. My sisters brought all the material to make the basket and we just decorated them on our own. They did the hard part and left the fun part of decorating it to us. You can decorate it on both sides or all four sides. I just did it on 2 sides. Thanks Chris and Connie for this fun project!!! This just says Spring to me! read more »

I love this stamp set from Stampin up, Just Believe! I actually made this card around the ribbon. I bought the ribbon at Joann's Fabric and wanted to make a card with it. It can be a birthday, thankyou, or sympathy card. Used the sponging technique around the masked circle punch. It is hard to see but there are pearls on the flowers. Cuttlebug EF on the edge of the card was used - that is also hard to see. Sometimes pictures doesn't do a card justice. Thanks for looking! read more »
