Stitch It Up

 This week Paper Pretties challenge PWC138 is "Sew - real or faux".   My card has machine stitching but I like faux stitching too.  It's one of those things that will dress your card up a little more.  So if you don't have a machine or are too scared to use one, just draw some lines on your card.  Now which is more intimidating to you drawing or sewing? From what I've read on other blogs and forums I think that one is pretty well divided.  Here's my philosophy, just give it a try.  What have you got to lose, a little bit of paper?  Try it on a scrap, then you don't have to worry at all.  I'm sure you'll do better than you thought.                                      
This week I'm using "Brew Your Coffee".  I can smell the coffee now.  I love the smell of coffee.  I'd rather drink tea but for the aroma, you can't beat coffee.  And of course you have to drink your morning coffee in your favorite mug, I bet you have a favorite.  It's just right size and weight and you love how it feels when you hold it.  If you don't have a favorite you're missing a crucial part of the morning ritual.  You need to find a mug that you can tell your kids to put down whenever they touch it, and of course that will make them want to use it more. 


don't foeget the inside



While you're drinking your morning coffee you're probably checking out your favorite blogs (I hope you've put this one on your list!) to see what's new.  Don't forget to check out the rest of the design team's creations.  After you've done all that (how many cups of coffee did you go through?) it's time to get cranking on your card.  Link it up on the Paper Pretties blog, you could win something just for playing.
