Sew What's New

Morning folks.....yippee we've had 3 days of sunshine in a row...spoilt aren't we but all that rain last week and being marooned on my crafty island has kick started the creative juices...time to share a little something I made while watching the rain running down the window and the wind howling round the eaves inspired by a project over on the Hero Arts Club Blog by Shari Carroll....she is one talented lady and I love her style....so I thought I would take her idea and run with it.....

"Sew What's New"
Gift Card
plasma pocket



an acetate pocket to hold bits and pieces....a gift card or money


Images: Hero Arts...CL 446 Sew Artsy
Papers: Tim Holtz Shabby Vintage Pack
Ribbon: Simply Create
Buttons..snaps and thread from stash
Flowers Prima

If you want instructions how to make this gift card....you can watch Shari's video HERE. The old crafty brain is ticking away.....wouldn't this be a great idea for Christmas Gift cards.
And something else that's new....have you heard the fabulous news.....we have a new kid on the block....a brand new challenge blog dedicated to vintage coming to a neighbourhood near you very soon.....
