Another stunner Coops, stick with the stitchin i love the look on my cards, i need more practice as well, i have found the thicker the paper the better it works or maybe thats just me lol

Wow, your sewing is fab and really adds to the card, but your colouring is perfect as usual...Pawfect.

Hi hunni hope you've had a good weekend. Loving your card the papers are lush, I love the colours I'm a sucker for browns lol. The image is sooo cute. Fabby colouring as always & cool stitching lol. You could try just using the handle instead of the foot pedal while you get the hang of straight lines if it helps hun, & keep the inside of the sewing foot against either a line that you draw on to get your straight edge or keep it along the edge of your paper depends where you want the stitching. Just remember to take it as slow as you can until the get the hang of it. I'm used to the sewing machines you get infactories which are super fast compared to the ones you buy in shops so I'm normally moaning lol. Keep persevering hun before long you will wonder why you worried in the first place, if I lived closer I wud come show you :0( but I cant,I'm sad now I'm going to have a weep.....TTFN duck.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
Oooo, look - you've had a change too, new year, new blog background (for you and me, anyways!!) I wouldn't worry about loosing a follower, don't take it personally, I think people sometimes just give up blogging - you've still got 238!! As for tonight's card - it's beautiful, that image is absolutely amazing, so adorable, I love it!! Hugs, Marie xxx

Oh a wonderful card Coops, just adore the super cute image and so beautifully coloured as always! Love the fab papers and your stitching too! I'm tempted to get a mini sewing machine, but I get scared around those things! Haven't picked up me Mum's genes on that skill :D
Wishing you all a wonderful New Year.
