Another passion of mine is making cards. I have collected old sewing junk forever and now recycle it on my cards. I use snips of old lace, buttons, keys, old advertising is my favorite. I usually scan the old ads, sometimes I cut them up and use the originals, but I don't like to do that. You can use old seed packets too, or scan them. I also sew on them, I have soooo much old thread. You can use so many different things on cards, just be creative. Have fun with junk!

Pattern or design used: My own design

You can add so many different elements to cards now, not just paper anymore. I make some woodsy cards with birch bark, I might have to post one of those too. Posted: 9:12 am on January 18th
