2nd post of the day, scroll down for the Stamp Somthing challenge.
It's the last of the Bellariffic Friday challenges for the year. I couldn't pass it up. Emily told us to do some stitching-faux or real. If you know me at all, stitching is no challenge for me. I looooove my machine. Tim got it for me 2 years ago for Christmas and once I got comfortable with it, there was no stopping me. lol! That's not to say I don't fight with it. There have been many times I've wanted to throw it out the window, but I do love it and have learned when the frustration sets in, I just need to walk away. I have a janome sew mini and I pride myself on the fact that I can sew on paper, but I have no clue when it comes to fabric! Anyway, you're here for the card and I've got a cutie for you. 
This here is the adorable little Turtle Tot line of stamps at STamping Bella. I used Mercy's awesome sketch from this week (except I used a circle instead. for some reason I just can't make ovals work very often) and some of the gorgeous Nook & Pantry paper by Basic Grey. Aside from the turtle, wanna know what was really my inspiration for this card? My ribbon!!! I've been trying to use some of this ribbon for over a week now and finally put it to use on Tuesday! LOVE it!!!! I used a straight stitch all the way around the card and added a zig zag up the left panel. Thanks for stopping by! See you all on Monday!!! We are starting the Christmas celebrations this weekend in MI. The boys are just so excited they can hardly stand it. Hugs,Lisa
