1. I didn't have to go very far to get inspired! That little black and white polka dotted dresser thingy caught my eye bigtime! This is what I am talking about.
2. I had planned on copying it totally (100%) making a card that looks exactly like it! That seems to be my thing lately!
3. Anyway, I needed to make a card for my sister after having surgery and half way through this I thought, oh no...I am making a card that I like, not one that she will like! So, I had a slight change of direction and started making it brighter, happier and not so Mothermarkey!
4. I am not sure I succeeded totally, there are lots of polka dots here but I hope sis likes it! Oh and one more thing, I sewed on this card. Good thing I am sending it to my sis, she knows I can't sew!
5. Thank you Traci for this fun paper! I love it!

Woot woot, your sewing looks fine to me, Cindy. Everybody who sews knows that it's impossible to get the corners neat if you're doing zig-zag. In fact, TBH, you can't even guarantee straight corners with straight stitch. I guess it's because when you're really sewing you've got a little give in the fabric, so you can stretch it to fit, which you can't with paper. Not unless you want it to tear .
Love your happy, stitched polka-dotty card.

Oh my word, I love your "Mothermarkey" kind of card! So bright and fun and full of dots! hehe Must say, your stitching doesn't look bad at all. In fact, it's down right wonderful! Your sis is gonna love this. SO sweet of you to think of her and change it to fit. We both have sisters dealing with surgery. Say, are we related or sumtin? Well done Missy! TFS :0)
