Hi All, I hope you have all had a good week, I thought I would show you my first attempt at stitching with a machine. I kept seeing cards with stitching and wanted to try it. As you can see the image which is called Fairys play time is the perfect image for some sewing lol. Heather was kind enough to let me have ago on her machine and help me with the tention adjustments.I coloured the image with promarkers, the backing paper was free with simply cards and papercraft mag, flowers and bling from stash. The image is available from http://dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/

There is still time to enter our Easel challenge over at Stampin With The Dragon, you can make your card for any occasion but it must be an Easel card. Pop over to the blog for some fabulous inspiration.

New Craft Garden Challenge

Hi All, Its the 1st of June already and Time for a New Challenge at The Craft Garden. June is the Start of the summer Wedding season, so our challenge this month comes from the Traditonal wedding rhyme

Something Old

Something New

Something Borrowed

Something Blue

Because it is difficult to borrow something to add to a project, this one can left off. For my card I have used Old backing paper from my stash, a new border punch from dovecraft and a new sentiment, and a blue heart & flower decoupage.

I do hope you will join in with us this Month for this fun challenge, There will be a small prize for the randomly selected winner.

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate it.
