My personal triumph...

with the sewing machine. Seriously! I don't own a sewing machine, have only used one once before and don't sew. My idea of sewing is "faux". What is interesting about the whole situation is that I happen to be visiting my inlaws right now and after seeing Julia's AWESOME tutorial called "All Stitched Up" I decided to give it a whirl. And you know something...I will be back for more. In fact, I might even buy myself a sewing machine. Now THAT is a big step. *lol*

While taking the photos I decided to play around with the backgrounds. That is the beauty of taking the photos. Of course the hard part is deciding which one looks best...I'll let you decide today!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the feedback on yesterday's bunny card. As I mentioned in this post, I am away from home and I therefore do not have all the paper colours on hand...a girl can only bring so much! What was interesting is last night I searched high and low for old olive cardstock because I also think it is a GOOD match for a lot of the Chatterbox papers. Thanks again ...I loved the suggestions! I am ALWAYS open to suggestions!!!!!

Because I love to stamp and you do too!
