For my card today I used the soon to be released set "Snowflakes". I have seen so many gorgeous cards with sewing on them lately that I decided to give it a try (again). Let me tell you...I have ZERO sewing skills. I ended up borrowing my grandmother's sewing machine to give sewing another try (I tried a couple years ago and ended up breaking the needle in half attempting to sew on a card). It was frustrating! This VERY VERY VERY simple card took me HOURS to make (it is a good thing the kids weren't around when I was working on it as I definitely had some choice words for that bleepin sewing machine).. I even practiced on scrap cardstock multiple times before moving to the real thing but I still ended up getting the needle stuck in the cardstock on my final project. Sewing is definitely going to take some time for me...in fact I don't know if it will ever be something that I do on a regular basis. I definitely need A LOT of practice. In the end, my card turned out ok...not good...but a little ok. Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a great day! Check back tomorrow for one last day of Prettie Previews before Friday's release day blog hop!
