My crayola block represents "objects of my desire" - perfect points and blue ribbons!! On this one I was able to duplicate the back of a postage card with a message, and I'll put the recipients address (or at least board name) on the address area. I covered my address with my lens cap so it wouldn't be posted all over the web for all and sundry to see.

My thread painted vintage sewing machine represents my latest love in sewing ... my new vintage! First time thread painting so excuse the lack of decoration on the machine. Because I FMQ'd the whole thing I wasn't able to pen in the reverse of the post card. Sorry about that. And for some reason my tension went "off" on the lower right corner of the border. NO idea why it suddenly went "off" then righted itself. Weird.

Ladies ... your cards are awesome! Where do you find all the 'things' you are embellishing with? I'm seeing prints of scissors, shoes, chipmunks - just to name a few. Good golly ... I have nothing like that in my stash so I had to use the tools I had available ... me little fingers and me even smaller little brain!!

Well done all!!

Sue
great cards, love the machine too.
