STITCHES STITCHES STITCHES

Happy Saturday, I am back with another card. But, boy have I had a busy day. I got up early and was headed to the Walmart to pick up a few things for the house and my car would not start, I mean all I got was click, click click. Now this is a bother. I thought it was the battery. I called my roadside service they sent out the tow truck and he got me going.  Since I bought the battery at Walmarts it was a good thing that is where I was headed. Well, I got the battery tested and it is not the battery. The young man said he thought it was the starter. I was really praying that wasn't it. I knew the sound of that click click click. I had heard it before. Now I have got to set up an appointment with the mechanic. I have really been trying to stay out of his shop. But, the call must be made.

Let's move on to something that is much more fun than my car problems. How about my new card. I have used a Wags N' Whiskers image (He loves Me) and their challenge is to use stitches. The sketch is Papertake Weekly

I have been practicing making bows, I still have a long way to go.  The color combo is a challenge at Colour Create

This was their color inspiration picture. My cards colors pick these up. The DP papers are from Basic Grey their challenge is to have stitches.

My card is colored with copics (of course) E09, E31, E33, 341, E25, E42, E53, G82, G17, W3, W5, W7, YR65, YR14, Y38 and the peach spica pen. The DP is Basic Grey green at heart. The card stock is Bazzill. I used my little pixie sewing machine to sew the stitches. I am still practicing with this. But, the Pixie is really more convenient than my regular machine. And I don't have to keep moving it. The ribbon and buttons are from my stash. This is it for today. I think it is time to go shopping online.

I did make it to the scrapbook store (My Scrapbook Mania in Bessemer, AL). I drove 45 miles for  Copics. I did get 2 stamps that were on sale for 50% off. And I did stop off at a couple of other stores in the area, although I did not buy anything else. I do like to look sometime.

I hope that you like my card and I would love to hear from you.
