Sew Cute!
I am delighted to be the weekend challenge presenter during our month long challenge contest.
Several very talented seamstresses have attempted to teach me to sew, with little success. I am simply incapable of creating anything with fabric that resembles a garment. This means that I have bits and bobs lurking in my craft room from many half-hearted attempts to cure my sewing inadequacy. So today’s challenge is to use a sewing technique or supply in a paper project.
In the below Eiffel Tower layout I used a layer of batting between the American Crafts pink patterned paper and an unseen sheet of our light weight chipboard to create a tufted look with brads. I love the depth and dimension it added at very little cost. I also used my paper piercer to punch tiny wholes around the green Pink Paislee Patterned Paper. I look forward to what you come up with and the fine print for both of our contests follows below.
Have fun creating,
CarrieAnne

I used to sew a lot when my kids were little but I haven’t done much for years so it was fun to try this project. Thanks for stopping by!

This blog is very good. How did you make it !
How come you dont have your site viewable in wap format? cant view anything in my iPhone.
We pay a price when we deprive children of the exposure to the values, principles, and education they need to make them good citizens.
I have got one suggestion for your web page. It seems like there are a few cascading stylesheet troubles when opening a selection of webpages inside google chrome and opera. It is functioning alright in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check this.
I tried taking a look at your blog with my mobile phone and the structure doesnt seem to be right. Might want to check it out on WAP as well as it seems most smartphone layouts are not working with your website.
Fantastic Stuff, do you have a twitter profile?
wonderful stuff thanx
This is dependent a lot on person expertise, dedication, and also the skill of the person’s instructor. I had been actively playing for 12 years when I began my level, but a more dedicated musician, or one with much better instructors could probably do it in less. In my opinion, the best kind of songs training would be weekly private lessons, but those are expensive.
Jesus Christ there is lots of spammy feedback on this page. Have you ever thought about attempting to get rid of them or putting in a extension?
I have got 1 suggestion for your website. It seems like there are a handful of cascading stylesheet problems when launching a selection of webpages within google chrome as well as firefox. It is running alright in internet explorer. Probably you can double check this.
Do you have a spam concern on this internet site; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your scenario; weve made some nice methods and were looking to trade options with other people, be certain to shoot me an e-mail if interested.
You should really moderate the commentary at this website
Almost all of the remarks on this web site dont make sense.
Wanted to drop a comment and let you know your Rss feed isnt working today. I tried including it to my Google reader account and got nothing.
