I enjoyed doing this one because I just kept it really really simple so it was pretty quick to do! Sorry about the dreadful photo but it is dismal here and this had to be uploaded by tonight! I think it might just be to simple for me and might end up bugging me too much and then I will add things to later, we'll see! Oh it is also all straight in person I promise, even though a few things appear to be skew in the photo!
I used Fancy Pants Floral Chic paper and Banana Frog Swirls and Butterflies stamps to make the little orange butterflies from shrink plastic. I had to add stitching of course so besides the waves done on the machine I also hand stitched the title.
Alas I think I need a new sewing machine as mine is just stitching terribly as you can see in the photo. The one I am using was my grans machine that she gave to me and if probably older than me so I don't really want to get rid of it but it really is not stitching very well. Then again knowing me I won't get rid of it anyway even if I get a new one!
Four days into the summer holidays and I think I am still sane, even though it has rained every one of those 4 days! We will see if I am still sane by this time next week! Tfl!

I really like this! And I like that you didn't crop the picture on the left that had, who I am guessing is you, in the corner of it. Really like this, and great hand stitching!
