Sewing a Valentine...

Next Monday is Valentine's Day, the traditional day for celebrating love. I remember getting ready for Valentine's day in grade school.... helping to make a box for collecting student's cards and/or making the cards themselves. Creating things has always been a love of mine along with fabric. 

Wanted to share this postcard I sewed up for my BFF using both paper and fabric and even a bit of oil cloth (can't resist that either). Creating collages is another passion.... paper, paints, fabrics, charms, buttons, thread, etc..... whatever works to create a design with lots of texture makes me smile! 
Once the back is finished and addressed, its off to the post office to get them to hand cancel this card.

Googled sewing on paper, here are a couple of links you might want to check out if you are interested.:

Your card is so romantic and sexy, just lovely for Valentine. My husbands birthday in on the same day, note his middle name is Valentine, so we have a double celebration. xx
