Here's the Design Team: Patty, Lois, Jane C, Pam, Pat G, Thrifty Stamper, Marilynn, Karen K, Bonnie, Kathy, Cathy C, Toni, Sue W, Janine, An'Jenic, Shirley Q, Amy, Gail, Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.
When I first saw this set, all I could think about was my mother's patterns in her sewing room. I pulled up some vintage patterns online and set to work. I decided that Mark's Finest Papers would put out a new line of "patterns" and I named them "Let's go out!". I borrowed the 25 cents stamp from previously released All Postal and the numbers from the new set called Calendar. I created a bottom border for my card with the measuring tape from I'm In Stitches and some faux stitching of my own. Thoughts?
Don't forget to head off to Sue's blog now. Thanks for coming by!

ReplyDeleteAmazing! What a clever idea and such great way to combine a number of stamp sets. This would be a perfect card for my sister who teaches sewing. I might just have to borrow this idea.
