MMSC4 LIFE IS MEASURED IN MOMENTS!

Here is my latest creation for the MIDNIGHT MADNESS SKETCH CHALLENGE. I love it!! LOL!! If I may be so bold as to state that out loud...or in print! I sewed this card too.

The inside of the card used just as much paper as the outside! I used....are you ready for it...2 12X12 pieces of paper on this card PLUS 1/2 of another piece of the brown Bazzil 12 X 12! Holy Moley that's a lot of paper!! The only thing I added to the inside that isn't on the outside is the pocket watch on the top of the inside of the card. I cut that out of the dp and mounted it on cs. I added a few little swipes of my white gel pen and somehow managed to give it depth!! Who knew!! LOL!

The inside bottom has a lot of sewing! I almost had an Uh Oh moment when I was sewing the little bit on the side because I had it all attached and realized once I started sewing that I had to go left to right and not right to left...apparently my brain doesn't work that way!! Added the ribbon to cover where the two pieces joined. It was originally a white piece of satin ribbon but I coloured it with my 70% French Gray Prisma marker.

Well that's all for now everyone! I am heading out the door with my sister-in-law Chrissy to find an outfit for her to wear to a Wedding Social tomorrow night. Thanks for stopping by!

I SEWED A CARD!! MMSC4

I did it! I sewed a card! I can't begin to explain to you how HUGE this is! I have owned a brand new sewing machine for 3 YEARS and it was still in its original packaging with the factory seal in tact!! I have a thing about sewing machines. They either love me or hate me! This one apparently loves me!! LOL! Either that or its just so grateful to be out of the box it would dare not work well!! LOL!! The kitty is from a Michael's Delta stamp I picked up on my last trip to Grand Forks, ND. The hearts, flowers and sentiment are from my Just So Hippy Gina K stamp set. This set is really versatile. I love that I can use bits and pieces of it on my projects! The Frame is from the Dollar store and was actually 2/$1!!! I added Diamond Glaze to the flowers and hearts to add some dimension and the kitty is paper pieced. I have a pic of the kitty lower down that will show you in detail where I paper pieced Mr. Kitty. Oh! The sketch for this card is from the MIDNIGHT SKETCH CHALLENGE!!

Without further ado here is my first sewn card!!



Here are some pics of the inside! I sewed the inside too! I also added a couple of the Just So Hippy flowers on the inside and another kitty that has been stamped on the dp and then raised on dimensionals to make him pop. The flowers on the other side of the card are from...you guessed it..the Dollar Store!! LOL!!



Here is the close up the kitty for you to see up close the paper piecing I did with him! You can clearly see that his head, tail and the butterfly have been paper pieced. I can tell you his tail was not a piece of cake!! I was terrified I would make him a bob cat!! LOL!!

Well, that's my card for today folks! It took a while but it was worth it! I hope you think so too. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night!
