Hello one and all. Friday at last and I hope you are well and looking forward to the weekend.
Martin and I are off out for lunch today to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary ( I WAS a child bride...honest!!) so we are looking forward to some good food. That said, we did have a "bit" of a spend at the beginning of the week so perhaps Fish and Chips will fit the bill!!
Anyway Sarah stop waffling!! I have a different (for me!) card to share today with NO stamping AND I have unearthed the sewing machine too. Ta da...here it is...
I've had this Yuletide Wishes CD Rom for some time and although I love the images hadn't actually got around to making anything as it somehow seems like cheating. So I gave myself a slap on the wrist and what the heck...I've nothing to prove so I set to and created this. The decoupage and papers were from the same set so that was an easy match. I then zig-zag stitched the four pieces together onto the backing card and then did running stitch all the way around (pats self on the back!!) to attach to the card base. A few sparkly gems and job done. I'm really rather pleased and the sentiment made me chuckle. Now that the sewing machine is out of hiding I suppose I really should construct the skirt pieces that I've had pinned and tacked for nearly three years...oops, then again it won't be summer for a few months yet so perhaps I'll save it for when the light is better!!
You will find my stitchy card here

This is so lovely Sarah! And such gorgeous stitching! I'm too scared of my sewing machine to go dig it out, though I do so love the effect of real stitching on cards. x
This is gorgeous Sarah, I love the image and your stitching looks fabulous.

Happy Anniversary, Sarah! Hope you had a lovely lunch.
Gorgeous card (and cards in previous posts as well - I can't keep up with them you post so often!!) - I know just what you mean about feeling that pre-coloured images are cheating. It's exactly how I feel!! And then I go into panic mode when I need a card in a hurry and I don't have time to colour the image - silly or what!!!
Hope you have a good weekend,
Sarah
