Papertrey Ink Anniversary Hop - Day 2


Hello and happy Sunday. I spent the day with a very dear friend of mine, we are working on a quilt together for a friend of hers. I am crossing my fingers she won't be upset that I am posting a couple of photos. We really had a blast, spent more time laughing than sewing to be honest with you.

 Arlene trying to thread her bobbin, that only took forever, just kidding!

lunch out at Togo's, ate healthy, had a salad.

Anniversary-header

Day 2's challenge was to take a piece of clothing and use it to inspire a card. I choose a sweater from my last Stitch Fix box that I love, this has to be the warmest sweater I have ever had and it is so soft too. I love this sweater die and somewhere along the line I lost the dies for the collar and cuff so I just improvised.



Ingredients
Solid Card Stock: Michael's - White and PTI - Pure Poppy
Stamps: PTI - Background Basics: Striped Sweater
Dies: PTI - Sweater and MFT - Stitched Heart
Ink: VersaFine - Black and SU - Real Red

  6. OKAY....this is soooooooooooo awesome! Your images are flawless! Wish I could knit like this! My scarves (the only thing I ever knit) would go from holes big enough to fit a cannonball to making the needles squeak!

  9. For me a day in your craft room rummaging through your stash I'm sure would feel like Christmas Eve for a child. You've got so much cool stuff and you know how to use it! Love this!

  11. I love your take on the inspiration pic. Black & white stripes are my favorite! I didn't pick up the sweater die when it came out, but every time I see someone use it, I start to think I might need it! Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog. ;-)
