Cupcake Craft Challenge #22 (& my 1st ever stitched card!!!)!


I'm sooooooooooooooo excited,I made my first ever stitched card,with my new sewing machine!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I have conquered something huge,as some of you know,I was desperate for a sewing machine for ages,but was terrified of them (still am,but it's getting better!!!).
I had a few probs,then my Mum came round & the only thing I had been doing wrong was threading the needle from back to front,DOH!!!
My Mum sat with me for a few tries & said I had done great & she luved my lil machine (Mum only buys very good quality machines herself!!!).
My machine was £29.99 from instore (was Poundstretchers) & runs from either batteries or mains.I use mains & it is great,it has 8 diff stitches & is quite powerful,so I'm happy,happy,happy!!!!
Ok, on to my card!!! The image is a download from Pollycraft called "Patchwork Elephants",coloured with Distress Inks,paper is Laura Ashley (this just screams "SEW ME"),stars are Quickutz,eyelets set with Cropadile.Stitching by ME!!!! ;O)
This card is for this weeks Cupcake challenge,following their sketch.
Thanx for looking & listening to me babbling on with excitement!!!! :o)xxx

Now what do I do?!!!!...


I have finished the whole Twilight series of books!!!!!!
Now what am I supposed to read,cos nothing can compare or beat them,they were absolutely amazing,fantastic,wonderful.......I was hooked on Twilight,lol!!! :o)xxx

Double Dutch#9~Going Round in Circles...

This is my card for the DD challenge.
I cut the card on my largest circle Nestie (Thanx for the idea Ria!!!),leaving the Nestie over the edge slightly so that it didn't quite cut a complete circle.
The image is an old Penny Black,I have to tell you about my wonderful friend Diane,who sells these images & many more,on ebay.
I have been buying my images from Diane for a long time & she reads my blog (Hi Diane!!!x),but she won't start blogging,although she has a blog set up,ready to go,I'm trying to persuade her to actually use it.
Diane & I email each other all the time & have lil chin-wags,she is just luvly & has shown me soooo much kindness (I think she is a fairy godmother really!!!),so if you fancy some new images to play with pop over to Diane's ebay shop & have a look,she has loads of stamps & posts really quickly.
Thanx for looking :o)xxx
