Put Your Sunglasses On!

This is a very bright and cheery card for this week's Stampin' 411 Challenge!  Due to looking at all the gorgeous stitching on Maureen's cards, I decided it was time for me to change the thread in my sewing machine from white to a color...so look out for some fun red stitching.  Yes, I am very lazy and rarely change the thread.  In fact, I rarely change the settings on my sewing machine, so last week when the stitching was all garbled I abandoned it for several days.  Then, when I finally looked again, I realized that it had been moved to the button whole setting.  I think some little fingers got to the machine :)

Hope you like today's card!  Happy hump day!

Hmmm, the little fingers at my house are fascinated with my sewing machine, I have to hide it in different places.... Love the brightness of your card and kudos to you for trying something different.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love it! I will have to change my thread color, too!
Little fingers have lost my 1/8" Scor-tape and messed with one of my Xyrons... No matter what kind of security we have, something always manages to get mucked with! ;)

This rocks, Lynn! Those layered scalloped circles go so perfectly with the patterned paper and I love the red wavy stitching. :)

What a fun twist on the sketch! I am afraid of my sewing machine...so kudos to you for using it on this amazing card!

wowza!! Pass the sunglasses! If this can't cheer you up, go back to bed!! LOL What a fun, fun card and thanks for the shout out!! Stitching is so fun to add and in different colours!! I must admit I don't like to change mine either, but the results are worth it in the end....the new studio will have a sewing area, so hopefully that will make it easier :) You can tell me when you see it in person ;)
