Hello Summer!

I finally came up with the courage to change the thread in my mini sewing machine! I was worried if I took out the white thread it came with I would never be able to figure out how to put another one in! But of course it was so super easy and I kick myself for not trying it sooner!



So I was able to use this super fun kiwi green! I just love how it matches the paper perfect!

    Cute!! When I got my sewing machine, that was my biggest worry that I would not be able to thread it.

    Your watermelon card is yummy enough to eat. I love that thread you decided to use and your lines are so straight. I definitely need to work on mine. Thanks for joining Die Cuttin' Divas this week. Be sure to check back again for another challenge.
