Hi Everyone,
How is your week going? There is only one more day until Friday and you know what that means? April Fools! LOL I haven't had a prank pulled on me in a long time, but maybe I will give some thought to pranking someone tomorrow. No bright ideas so far, so it you know of something funny, definitely leave me a comment. Anyway...
My card is totally unrelated to April or any fooling, but I was excited about one of the newest sets released by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff recently. It's called Sew Much Fun:
It's a companion to the set Sew Pretty:
And it was just the push I needed to color up that cute tomato pin cushion image. I have loved it for so long, because it looks just like the one I remember my mom having while I was growing up. Do you recognize it? I wonder if they still make them? I just love the whole retro look! Anyway, here is my card:
Since ruffled ribbons are all the rage, I tried to do that with the measuring tape and some glue dots. Looks a bit wonky in the photo, so maybe sticky tape is the way to go.
Thanks for dropping by. Lindsay always has some fun stuff (including freebies) on her blog and the LSS DT members are on my side bar. Stop by and see their Lindsay's Stamp Stuff creations any day of the week.

Hello Karin,
Such a nice colourful card. I love it. And also your previous cards are wonderful.
I love also your new Header, it feels realy like spring. Although here in Oostende it seems to be winter again.
Greetings and have a nice day,
Karin
So cute!
Oh, I love how you did this-especially those measuring tape ribbons-I may have to scraplift that idea!
Oooh I love this! I love how you used the tape measures. I don't think the tape measures look wonky. I love the way the look like the seamstress just draped them there while she was working.
Such a colourful card and I love the measuring tape. Sorry for missing some of your posts. Will comment now.

Awesome card Karin, I love the way you did the measuring tape, don't change it! I too remember that pin cushion, I still have my Mothers.
The measuring tapes are one of my favourite things about this card, Karin! It's fabulous.
Beautiful card! Love all the elements and the way you combined them - the tape, embossing and the gorgeous tomato pin cushion. I think I used to have one like that, once upon a time...
