Paper and thread...

I love opening a thoughtful card from a friend...Especially when it's lovingly handmade! Don't get me wrong, shop bought is also lovely, but the time, thought and effort that goes into one made by the giver always touches my heartstrings. This weekend I had a little play making cards. With paper, and fabric. Thank you Kirstie Allsopp, for inspiring once again!




I think I'm hooked! Hope your weekend has been jolly!

Blessings, Tania ♥♥♥

    1. Hi Kim! So great to hear from you, and thank you for your very kind words! I have dappled in the past with stitching on to vellum...used to do a lot of scrapbooking, and used stitching to jazz up some pages. It is so much fun to do! Hope you're all well, and enjoying a relaxing Sunday! Tania x
