I really like the tulip strip on the bottom of your Church and the windows are very cheery.

Wow, not only creative but you repurpose things too! Love it.
Well, I tried the scanner. Didn't show the material well. The first pics I did were also not to my liking.. I took the block outside and photographed it. No the flowers were fussy cut from a bigger print and sewed into a ribbon .Then it was added it on the bottom of the "hedges" Hedges was a strip of ruffles I cut off a (stained) placemat. The "stones were salvaged from an old blouse.

I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. I haven't even started mine yet, hopefully in a few days, but unless my DD camera is working I won't be able to show it.
Hmmm....I do have a scanner, would that work?[/quote

Before you even start -- fold and crease the paper on the sewing lines several times. This weakens the paper so it will tear off easily and not leave edges. Also if you tear toward the sewing line it tears off evenly. I learned this from a class with Carol Doaks

Yeah, there are some problems. My disability is out of my control, but within my control is my imagination.
