Ballet Feet Journal

Hello & happy Sunday!  I hope you're having a great weekend!


Today I am sharing a little scrapbook that I made using the upcoming release from InStyle Stamps, Gracie and Twirla.  We first showed you Gracie and Twirla here on the ISS blog.  It's an adorable rubber stamp set that's all about ballet, and girly-girl things. This is my featured set for January, and I'm loving the girly!  There's not a lot of girly in my house so it's fun to pretend!  {and make cards and gifts for our friends and neighbors that have girls...}.  This is a small journal/scrapbook that I chose to use the ballet feet for.  I had to take this photo with my backup camera, so I apologize in advance for photo quality.

Stop by and visit the ISS team if you happen to be at CHA right now, Booth #5023.


I will see you back here tomorrow with something Prettie!  Have a great day!

PWC138 - All Stitched Up

For this week's challenge (keyword: PWC138) we are looking for SEWING!  Real or faux, as long as it looks stitchy!  This is such a fun technique that quickly and easily dresses up layers and borders.  You can see I stitched around my two background layers, and chose a ribbon that was stitched as well.  My card features the set Unknown Blessings.
