Memories Are Stitched With Love

This is a simple little card that I made this afternoon using some Jillibean patterned papers, one Cosmo Cricket paper, some PTI die cuts, and a few other miscellaneous goodies including an old bottle cap.

I wanted to enter some specific challenges, so I worked in all the right elements and came up with this project.  It will go into my box of cards for the Christmas Craft Boutique at my church which is one of my most favorite projects of the whole year.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on my card.  By the way, that digital camera just walked out the door.  So, if anyone has suggestions on a good camera for $300 or less, I would really appreciate the input.

Have a blessed day.

  4. Like the variety of embellishing. Most cameras that are under $300 are ones that use regular batteries which you have to replace a lot since a point & shoot screen is on all the time when photographing. Both my Canon cameras use a rechargeable battery and my hubby found non-Canon batteries for me so I have a spare when one is used up & Canon batteries last a long time before having to recharge.
