I got a chubster for Valentine's Day. This chunky monkey kept me busy for a good bit.
I took Jane Eileen's "Ten of Hearts" class last Saturday. Each class participant was to bring 10 Artist Trading Cards, five each of two designs.
Some of us had a few extras and the trading was fierce! My ten of hearts became thirteen...
While everyone started out with the same materials, the ATCs, laces, fabrics, etc., No two books looked alike.
The needles and embroidery floss came out. French knots, everyone?
My heart in hand card went on the cover. My love bird went in the center page. Love Ms. Jane's sewn, painted paper!
Fabric and glitter...
The Debbies...
The back cover... The book got so thick, I had to hunt down some lace to sew onto the covers. Lace as cover up? Worked for me!
