My first attempt at sewing on a card

I'm not sure if I told you or not but Devin got me a sewing machine for Valentine's Day.  I had asked for one.  He got me a Singer Simple. He told me that this one was $10 more than the cheapest one but because it had the word simple on it, he thought that would be better for me.  He was definitely right on that front.

My very good friend Andrea came over Friday night to help me out because I was very intimidated by the directions and was never going to be able to sew without some outside help.  She totally came to my rescue. 

I am super excited to be able to do this now and to add this dimension to my card making. I first started by making the card on the left.  I put my paper in to sew, only to find out that my top thread had somehow come undone.  So, there was no thread but I didn't want to throw away the paper and thought, hey, it's just as if I pierced the paper.  I thought it looked ok.  I had to make a second card and try again and this time it worked.  Yeah!  I also sewed the ribbon on both cards.  I am SUPER loving these cards with the sewing and the cute paper.

Have a great Tuesday.  Yeah for Idol tonight, although I'm bummed about Lily going home last week.  What was America thinking?  My next favorite girl is one who I can't even spell her name. Sioban?? And I'm definitely still on board with Big Mike.
