Stitched Together with Love

I finally got some craft time today.  I have been so busy this week running around running errands and sitting with my mom.  I have wanted to make a card for this weeks Mojo Monday since the day it posted on Monday.  I am cutting it really close here to the deadline.  Then guess what?  My camera battery died.  So I had to charge that up.  Always something I tell ya!  :)


I used an old set from Just Right that I have only used 3 times now.  How sad is that?  Really?  I picked the Crate Paper papers first then chose the image.  I love this pretty paper and had to use it again.  I framed the sentiment with the stitching image that came with the set by cutting it out separately then using pop dots.  I layered that on top of a Spellbinders Lacey Circle cut.  I cut pieces of ribbon for the tails and used some pretty cream colored satin ribbon.  For the scalloped bottom I just cut circles using an old Fiskars circle squeeze punch and layered them on  top of each other.  Stitched around the whole card and added a little Maya Road stick pin to the bow.  There ya have it!  :)


You can find this fabulous sketch at Mojo Monday.  



I will be back Tuesday with my Timeless Tuesday card....so stay tuned.
Hugs,
Heather

    how is your mom doing, heather? i really love how you put the circle element together-so very pretty!

    It all sounds so easy to create but if I would give it a try I would mess it up :)
    How clever to use a circle punch to crate that border and your sentiment - and all the layers-are a fabulous focal point.

    I hope your mother is doing fine; sounds like there is a lot going on and to worry about. Take care.....
    Hugs,
    Stella

    This sketch has inspired some of the most beautiful cards I've seen in a long time. Yours is just gorgeous! I love the papers you chose. Such sweet colors. Guess what? I have this set, too, and I've never used it. It's one of my favorite JR sets. No good excuse, just too many stamps and too little time!
