I am also entering this for the
Sunday Stampers over at ink on my fingers
the theme this week is
PUSH THE BUTTON

This little frame set is a dedication to my Nana,

I have such fond memories of her, she taught me how to

sew, knit, crochet embroider & use a sewing machine,

Nana passed away about 6 years ago now (aged 86)

I think of her whenever I do any of the things she taught me.

So It has been nice to sit & think of all the things we got up to

while making this today,

Not only was my Nana a grate inspiration to me while I was growing up,

she played a big part in making me the person I am today,

LOVE & MISS YOU ALWAYS NANA.

here are some close ups

Distress inks used,

brushed corduroy, aged mahogany, vintage photo.

Archival ink,

Stamp set,

Creative Expressions, Vintage Sewing by Sam Poole

I used buttons from my stash & from a packet called

Sewing room JJ-596 by a company called Craftime.

I also used Tim's fab tissue tape.
