Birds of a Feather ... STITCH together!

Hello All ...

I'm back again with a 2nd post for today.

Over the weekend I was working on several card creations

commissioned by the local Tea Shoppe for an event they are participating in 

at a local Sewing Center.  The name of the event is identified in

the title of my post and this is one of several cards I've created for them so far.

Also, while doing my DT commenting, I came upon a couple of challenges I thought 

would be great fun to participate in.  So here we go ...

One of those challenges I mentioned is the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. 

The theme (as you see) is SPRING and must include a tea &/or coffee inspired design.

There's a huge amount of prizes being given away and the

inspiration at this site is AWESOME!!  Be sure to pop over and check it out!

Another theme I saw in my commenting venture is the STITCHING challenge

at the Pile It On Challenge Blog.   Since stitching is a requirement

of my card commission, it only stands to reason I should enter this sweet creation.

The challenge specifies real or faux stitching so I

chose faux stitching around my image and as you see I've also

used some double stitched (old) SU ribbon.  That counts ... right!?!  LOL

Other challenges to share in:

Clear It Out Challenge - Anything Goes/Patterned Paper Over a Year Old

Lemon Shortbread Challenge - Anything Goes

Fresh Brewed Challenge - Anything Goes

Die Cut Diva's Challenge - Something Spring

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today!

As always ...
