Challenge #131 - Stitch It Up!

Happy Wednesday! It's Joanne here and it is my turn to issue the challenge this week. I want to see everyone 'stitch it up' on their layouts, cards or projects using machine or hand stitching.

I created a card as inspiration.


I designed my card background and then I did some simple machine stitching around the edge. I love using my sewing machine to add an outline to my cards. I also added a little zig-zag stitch - just for fun!

I would love to have you play along with my challenge and share your creation with us! Just link up your project below :)
