CHALLENGE #17


Have we got a treat for you!
A wonderful array of beautiful creations
from the Shabby Design team which now
includes our five new Shabby Girls!
CHALLENGE #17

is about:

"Raiding Your Sewing Boxes"



But before we have a ‘Non -Sewer Shabby Revolt’ on our hands:
(did some of you throw your hands up in horror!! lol)
you don't need to sew unless you really want too!!

It's important to read all the information here....
---------------------
Our challenge for you this month is to create your project using items from your SEWING BOX.

We would like to see at least three (noticeable) sewing box treasures on your creations and seeing as our Sponsor Carol creates some amazing embellished pins:
then
PINS need to be one of your three.
-------------------


Here are the Design Team's interpretation of this Challenge!
(and once the girls have time, they will upload close-ups and details on their blogs!)
Be sure to check back later at them!

Thanks a lot for this inspiring challenge. It was a pleasure to work with it. At the moment I'm not able to show it on my blog because it is a gift for my mother for her birthday at the 23. november. But I posted it in my album at ImageShack.
