A special Thank-you!

My daughter is flying off to Florida for a couple of weeks with a good friend of hers, and is staying with the friends grandma. So I wanted to make a little something for her to take with her just to say thank-you so much for having her! I have seen my blogging buddy Dawn make these gorgeous little fabric apples and wanted to have a go.

I used some of the fabric that I used for my apple, for the ribbon,and sewed it up with a piece of lace to it as well. I used one of my favourite stamps from Karen Lockharts collection over at Ellen Hutson's site. I coloured it up with copics.




Dawn I have to thank-you for inspiring me again....

Have a wonderful Sunday, and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!

Hi Christine. This is absolutely gorgeous. Love the colours and image on your card. The little fabric bag is so cute. What a treat the smell from the cinnamon sticks will be at Christmas. Love how you have used the fabric and ribbon on the card to match. This gift will definitely be very well received. Hope your daughter and her friend have a nice time in Florida. Donna
