I count my blessings to have such great scrappy friends in my life.  I know that I am lucky to be able to share my love for this hobby with women who get the excitement of pretty paper, and fun new embellishments.

Flo, Tara, and I have developed a habit of PL nights every few months.  One of us hosts, and provides supper, and we scrap well into the evening.  On this occasion the dogs also came along for a little one-on-one time.

I just love this Amy Tangerine embroidery stencil.  It is a fun and easy way o add visual interest to your page.

The "lucky" cut file was a freebie by Kerri Bradford.  

To create an ombre effect I used 2 colours of embroidery thread to complete my stitched chevron.  I've hidden the journal on a tag inside the envelope.  It reads "How lucky I am to have so many wonderful women in my life who enjoy scrapping the way I do.  Flo, Tara & I have had fun hosting PL night b/twn us.  Girls, dogs, food, and fun.  What could be better?

Have you been looking for these Studio Calico Veneer stars?  A  little birdie told me that they'll be available in the store once again later this week.  You'll want to keep your eyes peeled, because I have a feeling they won't be around for long.  Remember you can use my code SHERRI for 20% off your order anytime.
