I love these colors for today...I did adjust for river rock and used the closest I had. I'm in a sewing mood so I went with that as my theme for today. I added a few antique sewing goodies in my picture as my grandfather was a tailor. You might not be able to see in the picture but his huge scissors are in the background. They're so big I would think they're too unwieldy to use but I guess they may have been good for cutting out trousers and suit coats. I did manage to do dessert today and pleated my tape measure ribbon.

Wow, what a gorgeous card, so beautifully staged. I love those antique elements and the story of your grandfather. Of course I have to comment on that beautiful sewing all around the perimeter. This card is really a stand-out. Thanks for sharing with us.

How excellent for you to have some of your grandfather's antique sewing things. I love antiques. Your card is so cool. I am so envious of those who sew on their cards. I have a problem with my machine. I like the way you created the pleats, and your image is really beautiful!!
