I recently bought a Janome mini sewing machine and had to try it out right away :o) I will be honest...I have never sewn in my life (all 36 years!) and never did take the opportunity to learn to sew (....Sorry, Mom). I followed the manual directions (which were quite vague) and checked out some tutorials: Gina K. and Jody Morrow (so thankful that they had pictures!!!) I stitched the Basic Grey designer paper to Chocolate Chip cardstock and adhered it to the Pink Pirouette cardstock using Sticky Dimensionals (which I highly recommend), I ordered mine from Jody and she has fantastic service and they are a great value... (As a side note, the SU ones don't stay sticky enough for me and these do!) I used the new stamp set from Asela Hopkins Framed Friends again and think these images are so cute! It even looks like there will be a companion set for this revealed Thursday night!! Woo-Hoo! Too cute!
As a side note...down here in NC we had SNOW!!! It has been 5 years since this area has had more than an inch of snow so this was a big deal!
My kids loved it and were out at 8 am and stayed busy in the snow playing until dark. They enjoyed every minute and look forward to getting back out there again today since there is no school! :o)

Oh wow! I just made a card using this, lol! Great minds huh? This is fantastic Jennie! You did wonderful on the stitching, wow! Did you order your sew mini online? I WANT one!! I have very limited space and refuse to buy a big ole clunker one, lol!

I luv the owl card...so very sweet! I want snow....I am in VA and we have had none....send it my way! *~*
Adorable card, Jennie!! Love the colors and that owl is so cute.
Your snow picture is gorgeous. Looks like y'all got more than we did. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I LOVE snow. Of course it's not fun driving in it when you live in NC because they don't really have the equipment to clear the roads very well.
This is so adorable. I love your card. And will ya look at that snow! We only got frost here but I'm sure the boys would have been happy to have had snow. How fun for your kids!
