Let's stitch it up ...

Good morning everybody

I hope you are keeping warm and cosy - there certainly seems to be a chill in the air.  Halloween passed without even a flicker where I live, although I did here in the distance some fireworks.

At  Anything Goes  this week we want to see stitching - real or faux - so lots of opportunities there to show us all your stitching.  Have a look at the DT work, it's so varied and gorgeous and is a great example of how different everyone can interpret a theme!





No sewing machine working at the moment, so I have used faux stitching around my little cutie.  This is a Heather Ellis digi, and I have coloured with Copics.    The snowflake is a fabulous Memory Box die, and roses from stash.  They certainly did not look green in the daylight - the camera must be playing tricks.  I have added gems to be background paper and the little star on the sentment is the centre piece left over from the snowflake.  My background papers are from a big Basic Grey pack  from last year. 

Don't forget you can get lots of papers and a massive amount of other goodies from The Craft Den.


I am entering this for the following challenges:

Crafty Boots - Young at Heart
Make It Monday - Always Anything Goes
Oh La La Creations - Stitching
Paper Pretties - Use a Sentiment
Pollycraft - Anything Goes
Dream Valley - Anything Goes
OSAAT - Christmas

Hugs,

    Aww what a sweet image, love the DP and die you used, this is lovely Val. Your weather must be very different from our, just down the road, we don't have the heating on yet and it was 16 degrees at dusk when I did the horses! Even picked some late mushrooms too, amazing for November. See you in a couple weeks
