The Challenge #61 - Photo Inspiration



Happy Monday...hoping you all had a fabulous weekend. I had no real plans so I spent most of my time being crafty. I did some sewing and got a head on a few cards for design teams, such a wonderful feeling!



I love making these sweet little bags, the top photo shows dumpling bags and they measure 4x6 inches and the larger one, a project bag measures 9x10 inches, both are fully lined and really take no time at all to make. 


This week's card for The Challenge #61 using this wonderful photo for inspiration, would love to have a kitchen that looks this fabulous and rustic! I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop....enjoy your week!

  7. Your sweet little bags are adorable, Kim ... and what a lovely card ... the softness of the blooms and flourish contrast beautifully with the lines of the background woodgrain! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)

  8. Where to start....your sewing projects are all so amazing, and I cannot believe that they are as easy as you say. Well, amend that--they are probably easy for you, but would not be easy for anyone with 'normal sewing' skills. And your card--simply stunning. Those pink flowers are so wonderful against the woodgrain.

  15. I'm so glad you shared your sewing projects with us, Kim! They are darling, and I love the custom tag you sew onto them. Great idea on your card to use gray for the weathered wood look. So pretty with the pink flowers on top : )

  22. Oh my gosh, Kim...your little bags are simply spectacular! The one with the sheep has captured my heart! Yet again, your creativity astounds! And if your delightful bags weren't enough to spark a smile, you follow with a card that is a gorgeous floral-and-woodgrain interpretation of the inspiration photo. That kitchen...I'd love to have one like that, too!
