So I got out Waltzingmouse Stamps' Sewing Box Christmas stamp set, then decided to try out my sewing machine on a card (only my second attempt). I broke the needle after 2 practice panels. Jason even came in to help me put one back in. Then the bobbin was a mess. I managed to eek out 3 zigzag panels on this card before packing it back up....PLEASE DO NOT ENLARGE THIS PHOTO, heeeee!
I loved Claire's sketch, so carried on with my "sewing theme" (how could I throw out the tree after I used FIFTEEN rhinestones on it...that WOULD be tragic!!) I stamped the background on kraft paper using the open circle from Papertrey Ink's Polka Dot Basics. I then filled them in with the snowflake image from WMS Sewing Box Christmas. Thanks sewwww much for looking, giggle!
