Two weeks ago Jillian challenged the Prettie girls to make a card that we (ourselves) LOVE. Now while I don't always LOVE my cards, I LOVE this one!! LOL! In order to ensure that I LOVED my card, I used my favorite Paper Pretties stamp, Cuddle Me Sophia, my new favorite DP, Sweet Slumber by Stampin' Up! and my new favorite embellishments from the Stampin' Up! catalog: Valet Ribbon Originals, Latte Buttons and the Mini Library Clips. I also did something on this card that I've NEVER done.............I SEWED!!!!!!!! It's not perfect (see the bottom right corner???) but for a girl who had her Aunt make her sewing project in home economics in High School, it looks pretty darn good, IMO! LOL!
I bought a Janome Sew Mini at Hancock Fabrics about a month ago and have been terrified to use it! The other night I pulled it out of the box, followed the awesome So You Want To Sew? Tutorials by Jody Morrow (you'll find them under December 2008), and I SEWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her directions make it so incredibly easy! Thank you, Jody!!!
Okay...enough of my LOVE fest! Go check out what the rest of the Prettie girls did with this challenge. I'm sure you'll LOVE it!! (sorry...had to do that!)

Well...first of all, I am appalled that an OFFICER would cheat and have her Aunt make her project...perhaps a citation is in order on YOU girlie!! Snort!!
OK...this card ROCKS my world! LOVE the colors and layout, that yummy new dp, the sewing...it's awesome Jacque!!

OMG this is fantastic!! I've had a small sewing machine that was given to me that I have been petrified to use but I think I might give it a try. Cheating in home ec? Tisk! Tisk! LOL :)
