Before and After

Like thousands of others, I have fallen in love with the 7Gypsies trays. I bought this one from Archiver's on my last trip home to the States and brought it back to decorate. I used a lot of favourite scraps and embellishments I have been squirrelling away over a number of years. However the primary paper was MME and the 7Gyspies Nest sticker sheet. They have a layout example on the back of the box, which I took a lot of my ideas from, but I also took pictures at the store of some of their trays on display. If you want even more inspiration, the Archiver's Website has a huge section dedicated to these great home decor frames here.

Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge

I have never had a chance to participate in the Papertrey Blob Hop, but, by chance, I was able to take a little time to make a card using embroidery floss. Unfortunately, I have not been very 'inventive' with the use of it. However, it did provide an opportunity to play with my new dies and felt. Hopefully, I will have a chance to create projects that fit the bill more fully in the future. Thank you for looking.

For the March Blog Hop we are challenging you to use embroidery floss in a fun and inventive way on your project.  This could include stitching, wrapping it around and tying it like ribbon, braiding, accenting tags, embroidered patterns or anything else you can dream up!  We look forward to seeing your creations!
