Sew Sweetness dot-dot-dash-bag pattern tester

I follow this wonderful sewing blog written by Sara called Sew Sweetness. She posted that we was looking for bag pattern testers and asked if there was anyone interested. Given my obsession with sewing bags I responded right away. I was sent the pattern and started the process. The pattern was really easy to follow. I must say I was a little intimidated in making a purse that had 6 zippers!! But I was surprised at how easy it was and how nicely it all came together.

For the bag I used Pat Bravo Hyperreal Garden - Lush Foliage in Plum for the main fabric and the contrast fabric was Illusion in Cashmere.

Go check out the pattern at Sew Sweetness. Dot-dot-dash-bag.

It was a great experience!!

Sassy Cheryl's challenge

I just started using digi's and found Sassy Cheryl's site. They do a weekly challenge so I figured I would give it a try this week. The theme this week was Pink!

I used the Father's Day bear digi for this challenge.

Card

When I was at Lens Mills I found this stamp with a cupcake and the "You're so sweet" saying and thought it would be perfect for a card.
 
 Here is how it turned out.

Not bad for 99 cents!!
