You all have heard me gush before about Traveling Mama. First when I came across her blog back in February. Then when she started her Traveler's Inspiration Challenge this summer. Now I am hoping you again take the time to check in as her Traveling Tribe starts a new adventure. They have started an Etsy shop to raise money for a school in Morocco. You can learn all about it here on her blog.
Her recent challenge was to create something inspired from a series of pictures taken at a market. I was inspired by the little old man leaning over his sewing machine. I have wanted for over a year to use my machine to sew on paper. But I've been too intimidated.
But today was the day. Today I would be inspired to put that machine to use again. This time on paper. It was so excited to watch the stitching create the card. I have tackled my fear. You know what that means??? You'll be seeing more sewing from me in the future!!

love the card. maybe you will be my inspiration. I know my sewing machine is good for more than just collecting dust bunnies.
This is lovely! I keep thinking that today will be the day when I use my sewing machine on paper... It's good to read that someone else has felt the fear! I try to be brave but always wimp out at the last munite - glad you went for it and made this great card! Jo x
