I needed a sewing journal to keep track of sewing tips and information about my machines. I thought it was a great time to try out the beautiful Elegant Accents set in combination with the dies. Didn't it turn out pretty?! I love the beautiful intricacies of the dies and that wonderful butterfly oval stamp in the middle.

Have you ever had a card that just surprised you in how it finally came out? This is one of those for me. I love the way all of the elements combine on this card. I double stamped the Tag Frame stamp on the little rectangle tag. It gave a worn, distressed look to it. I distressed other parts of the card, as well, to keep with the general feel.
