Hi Everyone
I hope your day has been good.
Mine has gone well and I have managed quite a few creations today .. .. which always makes for a good day in my book!!
Whenever I have a few days away from crafting my fingers always itch to create something .. .. but to also use my sewing machine .. .. so today I combined the two.
My creation is also destined for the Snippet Playground Challenge No. 35 .. .. which I missed last week :-( .. .. and it got mentioned in dispatches .. whoops!!!!
I can't play truant for a second week or I will be getting a letter sent to my Mum!! LOL!!!
So here is my mid week snippet make
and because it isn't Sunday I am not allowed to be lazy .. .. so here is what I used:
Image: Pink Petticoat "Quirky Qwerty"
Backing Papers: Snippets from Pink Petticoat "Perfect Papers" (half price if you are looking for a lovely bargain)
Sentiment: Computer Generated using font "Misproject" (the sentiment in the typewriter comes with the PP download).
Nestabilities: Scalloped Circles and Classic Circles Large
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Ribbon from the odds and ends drawer
Lots of folk have asked me about the nail heads and said they can't find them on the website. You can see them if you click here. I used to stick them down using strong glue and a cocktail stick .. .. but once I started using them lots decided life was too short and I treated myself to the hot fix wand.
Love this typewriter image very much. Typewriting and sewing lessons used to be my favourite subjects at school but I never got to use a typewriter that was this pretty!!!
OK .. .. off to get organised for tomorrow. I have a new "happy couple" visiting
Catch you soon
Love
Great card Jules, love that typewriter image and papers

Hi Jules, great card - love the typewriter which does remind me of the 'toy' typerwriters that were around when I was a child. Typewriting was not my favourite class at school and I blithely thought that it didn't matter because I was never going to work in an office ... oh the irony of it, even in the army I had to master a teleprinter!!! Fortunately for my career, I came to love the keyboard ... and checking out the writing on the paper, there was a time when I could have typed that up too :) Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Jules,lovely image and papers.xxx
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Jules, love the pretty pinks and the fab typewriter.

Heh Jules, great to see you back and creating again! The place hasn't been the same without you :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card and colours. My typewriter at school wasn't like that one either and my teacher was having an affair with the chemistry teacher, tut tut!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good break, we missed you.
Yup, I also got the hot wand (after copying you with the nail heads of course) - have finally learned to check the head of wand is tightly screwed on before switching on :( Duh!!
Love, Di xx

ReplyDeleteFantastic card Jules. Love the typewriter and the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteAw, who'd a-thought of a pink-trimmed typewriter???Found the hearts...and this is SO cute! Being an office rat for so many yrs til computers got on the scene, I have a warm fuzzy spot for typewriters. I never had one as pretty as this one though. Perfect with the notebook paper background.
