a stitch in time....


Karen has produced this masterpiece. Isn't the sewing fantastic. Highlights the white space and the red blooms give it all the colour it needs. Oh and the torn page from a book, just divine.

Karen says : It is a photo of my father in-law, and two of his brothers with their rabbit trap. It was taken around 1952, I have had it here for ages wanting to do something with it. The ticket on the left is an old ticket we found when we did some DIY here, so it is original/authentic. Whoo hoo I haven't scrapped for about a month, went to Lincoln yesterday and had a heap of photos printed, so I think a scrapping weekend is coming up. (Maybe after Ive done the ironing!!!!)


I gather u went to Rabbit Karen after seeing you on Tuesday??!! did ya print out any digis.

By the way bloggers... if u get the chance, check out Karen's digi album when u see her. This is one talented chick.
