Some Stitchery

This weeks Challenge over on Just Magnolia is 'In Stitches' So you just have to do some stitching, either by hand, machine, or you can do some faux stitching. I used my new mini sewing machine and did a bit of zig zagging! The papers I used are Porcelain and Lime Ricky from Basic Grey. Tilda was coloured with Copics and I added a touch or 2 with my white Signo pen. Flowers - crochet and punched using EK Retro punches. Leaves, E-lm punch and Lace doiley - Martha Stewart. Scalloped circle was cut on my Cricut. Thanks for visiting, I appreciate all your comments xx

Hello
Another 'no brainer'! All that's needed is some lovely paper from Heidi Grace, which I used to cover Saras Surfaces 'portfolio' from HOTP - Approx' 8 x 11 inches. I got lots Sara Surfaces from QVC ages ago and never did anything with them and I quite enjoyed covering this. Letters are from K&Co and Brenda Pinnack, Retro punched flowers and one of Hels Stitchels, Heidi Grace chipboard stickers, SU sticky pearl thingies and Nestability long rectangle dies. Now I have somewhere to put my collecton of sketches, and photos/printouts and anything else that inspires me. Thanks for looking xx

Hello
This was so simple to make, Just covered a couple of coasters with BG Marekesh papers,love these colours - almost broke my heart cutting them as I don't have many! My Friend Hels gave a set of Hero Art ickle bird stamps - soo cute! I coloured them with a Copics and die cut with Nestability large plain ovals. Put the covers through the BIA and added my post it notes - easy peasy! Oh, and flower was punched with the small EK Success retro punch from grunge paper - liking this! Then coloured with Adirondak inks. Thanks for stopping by xx
