Good Morning! Today begins a new challenge on the Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog. The theme for the next two weeks is: A Stitch In Time (use real or faux stitching on your project). We have three fabulous sponsors:
3 images of the winners choice
$25 gift certificate
3 images of the winner choice
I made this card using an image from Angie's Digi Stamps; what could be more perfect for a stitching challenge than a sweet little girl doing some hand sewing? This will be my Mother's Day card for my mother. She is a fabulous seamstress and taught me everything I know about sewing (unfortunately, I wasn't all that interested and I am not very good at it, but I can hold my own around a sewing machine). She also taught me how to cross-stitch (which I am quite good at) and we used to do that a lot together when I was a teenager. All that to say, that I think this card is perfect for her, specially the sentiment "Memories are Stitched Together with Love". I even used a cute little heart button to tie in the "love" theme.
Now it's your turn; we can't wait to see how you use stitching on your project.
Challenges:
Digi Sketch Challenge--button's & bows and a sketch

Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle and Labels die (I think it is retired); I cut a little slit in the end so I could thread my ribbon through
The darker button is from Funky Hand and the others are all recycled off clothes my girls have outgrown
