Now this is "FUSSY & FANCY"

This week's Fussy & Fancy challenge is a bit of a Recipe. We're looking for the 3 S's, (get your head outta the gutter), we are looking for
"" STITCHING, SPARKLE & SCALLOPS ""

(click on blinkie for complete challenge details)

WHEW, where do I even begin on this project?????? Maybe some CLOSE UP's ???

HERE you can see all 3 S's and my idea of "STITCHING"...... In my world the thread qualifies as "Stitching". Keep in mind that I am still sitting in an empty house so I've improvised.


The Fan images were FREEBIES from "Vintage Image Crafts" (get ready for MORE FREEBIES from them as we gear up for their next Challenge). I printed them out and then did some serious distressing. That beautiful Scallop Stamp if one of the Vintage Image Background stamps that Nina Brackett designed and is sold HERE at Gina K Designs

Remember my lifetime supply of homemade cotton Ribbon? I've wrapped some around one of my Antique, Italian Spools. Here is a photo of the lot I purchased at the Antique market in Sicily. Aren't they to die for?
Believe it or not, I even saved some room on the inside to write my own message if I ever decide that I could part with this. Finally an image to show that if placed in a padded envelope, it could easily be mailed.
