grow where you're planted...


Happy Thursday!!!

I can't believe how quickly this week is flying by! We're almost to the end of the first week in June! Anywho's, today is Thursday so that means it is my day over on the 365 Cards blog.

The Thursday challenge is:

Fun with Fabric

I tell you, I tried to use this gorgeous vintage brocade fabric that I picked up at an annual rummage sale that I use to go to {they don't do them anymore...gasp!}. It just wasn't working for me, I had a design in my head and well, I wasn't happy with how it was turning out. Then I remembered...that's a huge thing these days as my memory has been failing me consistently....okay, back to the fabric, I remembered my Amy Butler Fabric Tags that I have been fiercely hoarding. Yes, fiercely hoarding....well, I de-hoarded!

I stitched the fabric tag onto my Amy Butler pattern paper...good grief, that isn't sooo easy :) There is a reason why I only sew on paper...I finished it off with a couple vintage buttons.

I hope that you'll join me in the 365 Cards "Fun with Fabric" Challenge!

I can't wait to see what you create!

Great card Amy - I'm too scared of putting fabric onto cards to give it a go I'm afraid - crochet flowers is as close as I get! xx

Amy I love your card and the fabric.
I guess I need to "dehoard" my stash as well of AB fabric tags cause I have been hanging on to them. They are so cute and your card is too! I can't sew period so feel your pain there. :-)

would you believe that I was thumbing through both colorways of these fabric tags last night (got them at YOUR BF in February) to get inspiration for a challenge. I left them to sleep and look at what I wake up to! Very cool creation you got there!

Have a great Thursday
