We all know how trendy the 'Keep Calm' sentiment
has become and EAD Designs
has come up with a great set of Stickerz with varying themes.
I paired this one with the colorful paper & embellishment kit
'Graceful' by Lori Whitlock from Echo Park.
To quote my husband, there is "a lot going on with this card!"
From left to right....
The laid what I call the 'wallpaper' base and then went to work.
{all products used are in the project recipe below}
I cut the fun EP banners and hung them from Flax baker's twine.
Die cut the flowers and centered them with bright brads.
I placed the sentiment on a journal card and continued the banner on the right.
I bought these fab decorative floss bobbins to use on projects
{not for floss, of course}
and wrapped this one with Blossom baker's twine.
The stick pins finish it off.
As I created this card, I began thinking of my grandma. She taught herself to
sew when she was determined to make Barbie Doll clothes for me as a child.
I know that as she continued on making school clothes for me and eventually
Cabbage Patch & American Girl Doll clothes that she had a
'VERY HAPPY LIFE' because she enjoyed it 'sew' much.
Here's the set I used...
Don't forget....
I hope you enjoyed your visit today.
I am the last stop on the blog hop train!
