She does a lot of charity work with her university sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Her focus is specifically with books. I found the Literacy logo for Pi Beta Phi and designed a stitched pattern for her birthday card. I hope she likes it!<br />

I almost exclusively make hand stitched cards. I first find a design I like, I poke the holes, I choose the paper, and then I hand stitch the design. The tulip design I chose did not have any pussy willows so I added those free hand with a straight stitch and french knots. I used pop dots to add dimension to the pail. I also added texture with a Cuttlebug embossing sleeve. </div>

This week's challenge in the <a href="http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/01/merry-monday-140-snowflakesreminder.html">Merry Monday Christmas Challenge</a> was to feature a snowflake on the card. I hope by doing several of these challenges this year that I can keep the feeling of Christmas alive all year long...<br />
<br />
I love making bookmark cards. I would love to get a card that I can keep using by removing the bookmark, reattaching the ribbon, and marking my place in a good book.<br />

I have been trying to incorporate these into cards so that the joy of receiving a card keeps going when the bookmark can be used every day. The ribbon can be taken off the card, the bookmark removed, and the ribbon tied back onto the bookmark.<br />

I couldn't say no because you have just have to celebrate these priceless moments in life! So this afternoon I dropped everything and started stitching. I hope the "young" couple have a wonderful celebration filled with love and happy memories.<br />

I thought I would start the year inspired by the <a href="http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/">Merry Monday</a> Christmas Card challenge and this week's sketch from <a href="http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.ca/">Freshly Made Sketches</a>. I don't often use ribbon in my projects but this week's challenge on Merry Monday called for a little extra decoration so I added the gold ribbon. My sweet Rudolph is hand stitched and there are two little black beads for his eyes but they are very hard to see in this photo.<br />
