Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop


Welcome to the August edition of the Blast From the Past blog hop from Taylored Expressions!  This month we were challenged to use those items we've been collecting and hoarding - you know we all should be going to Collectors Anonymous, right?  I'm a huge button collector, so I used multiple buttons on my card along with some very cherished Cosmo Cricket Odds & Ends paper.  The sketch is from our very sweet and amazing Sankari Wegman - love it!  I stamped my Crafty Cuppie in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics - I cut it out with a square Nestabilities die and added the little sentiment tag underneath.  I used my sewing machine to sew around the edges of the patterned paper and then used foam tape to pop everything up. 



Thanks for stopping by~
Karen
