If you have the Autumn Leaves Designing With 2008 calendar, this card my look familiar. It was inspired by the cards of Jennifer McGuire shown on January 30th. I love having this calendar on my desk at the office, so that I always have a little bit of creativity to inspire me each day at the office.
I went through my scrap bin choosing all of the scraps in this color family. I ran several scraps through Cuttlebug Embossing folders to add some texture. I got out circle punches in all sizes, and then attached circles to a white rectangle in a random fashion. I sewed around the edge and then did a wandering stitched path through the circles. I stamped Impression Obsession Note Label on one of the circles in Dark Brown ColorBox Chalk Ink and then attached the rectangle to a card front (to hide the stitching from the inside).
What a fun way to use my scraps. I think I’ll do several more in different colors for a gift card set. I’ll also try using some contrasting thread for a little more contrast on the stitching.
Remember, you still have time to join in the fun for the I-squared Inspiration Giveaway.
Hi- I saw your blog mentioned on Allison’s blog so I thought I would stop by.

This card is sooo pretty.The texture is awesome and the circle punch gives this cars a nice touch of style.
Wow, I love this card, the circles are classic and the texture of the embossed papers and the thread a quite beautiful! I can’t believe how many cards you can get done!! :O)
