This card is for today's Free 4 All challenge, to make a card or project with the main image being from your garden. I chose strawberries! This is also for yesterday's Ways to Use It challenge, Stick It. I "stuck" my card by sewing on it with my sewing machine AND by using a safety pin. That was a fun challenge! The gingham "DP" is actually a scrap of fabric that I sewed on to my kraft card base.

Thanks a bunch!!

Emzi, I knew as soon as I saw this one, it was yours. Crafted in the "Emzi Wemzi" style we've all grown to love. Your use of fabric and stitching is such a special added touch and I LOVE your strawberries and safety pin. This is really, really fantastic!! TFS!

Emzi this is just so sweet and delightful. I love how you did the tag and hung it off the ribbon. It gives the card so much character. I adore how country and homespun it looks.

Great papers and images. Strawberries are so trendy right now in crafting and I can see with this lovely card - this makes me want some strawberry shortcake or strawberry cake! Yum!
