It's a Good Day (Birthday card)  and a Thank You note with a sewing theme~


Made with bits of scrapbook paper and journal cards, there is some punching (for the doily edge and the 'ticket' strip)  and the film strip piece along the bottom is from Tim Holtz~


Here is a Thank You card made with a base of Kraft paper, then lace and checkered scrapbook paper.
The maniquin is chipboard with glass glitter and I've added paper rolls to imitate 'fabric' : ) and some buttons and beads.  The scissor washi tape is some of my favorite!  I rubber stamped "you're sew nice" on a piece of twill tape~




 I hope your day is going well.  I am still busy with family and travel, but have found a place to take a few minutes to blog : )
My THANKS!! to you for stopping in to take a peek!  I appreciate that so much~
blessings,
Karen

  2. Hello Karen. Both cards are lovely. But I guess I don't have to tell you how partial I am to anything that features birds! Have a great day. XO Sue

      Yes, when in doubt, a bird is always appropriate : )
