Stitching Challenge

Here is what I made for my stitching challenge.  The fourth of July album should be a fun one to do.  I made this flag to go on its cover.  The stitching goes around the field of stars and around the flag itself.  This is the first time I have sewn on paper.

Here are some of my inside pages.  I am making this in honor of my daughter-in-law who was a soldier serving in Iraq.



Junque Album Entry

Here is my entry into the Junque Album Contest.

Junque Albums are meant to keep information in an artsy kind of way.  They should give the owner that little creative nudge every time it is opened.  I know mine does.  I love all the little places in which to put things.  The first thing I am going to put in there is the good news I got yesterday from my son Chris and his wife Amelia as soon as I get permission to do it.  I have decided that you can sit around and moan about the economy and become a bump on a log, or you can see what you can do with what you have.  I am now choosing to be more creative with my life.  I can thank Julie from the scraps of my life for her inspiration.
