The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge - M

Hello there from the deely boppered Horace, here today to show you my creation for the Craft Barn Alpha challenge. The chosen letter this week is M, but the twist is that you must choose your word between MA and ME, so I've chosen to showcase....Me!


Not really! Can you imagine? Just me, stuck firmly to the small French/ English dictionary?


Instead, In keeping with our 'words that translate to mean the same in both languages' theme that we've inadvertently adopted, I chose the word Machine. In accordance with the rules, I left the word undecorated.


I cut and stamped various ephemera relating to sewing machines, found some suitable background papers (in a Debbie Moore stamping magazine), and got down and sticky with it!


A close up of the pages.


I'm loving this challenge, and may even buy another dictionary to create an A-Z of me in, as I never thought to use this challenge for that pawpose!

With love from the bears.

    A great collection of sewing items to help illustrate your specific machine for sewing. Good word choice. Had you gone with "me", this challenge really would have turned into quite a challenge to illustrate future words! LOL
