I've used Apple Emma from CC Designs. You can get CC Design stamps at Paper Jewels.
I realized the other day that I have probably used this stamp a dozen times and I just never show any of the projects that I make with her. (Weird?!?!) Well here she is!! LOL
Hey!! Did you notice anything??
Yep, there's stitching on my card!!!! If you remember from a previous post, my husband bought me a sewing machine in celebration of my making the Elisabeth Bell Design Team. (Isn't he so sweet!!!) I do not know how to sew, but I have envied all of those gorgeous cards that have stitching on them for a long time now. Well it turns out that my husband knows a little bit about sewing (enough to be dangerous, LOL). He threaded the machine and gave me a few pointers. So this is my first attempt. What do ya think? Not bad huh?

We have another two weeks over in the UK - am loving spending this time with Josh - he is 10 and wont want to spend much time together in a couple of years, so am making the most of it now!
Good luck on the return to school!

Fabulous card, I LOVE everything about it! The paper is wonderful & your colouring is stunning. Of course the stitching looks fantastic. It's something I definitely want to try more of on my cards!

Lovely card - so much great detail in your design! Thanks for joing us at Stampin' Royalty
I just made a card using this image on Friday, but I can't post it until tomorrow:) So cute, Wendy!!! Gorgeous coloring, and your stitching looks terrific! I cried this morning when I dropped off my daughter:( I am enjoying a quieter house though!
Wow...this card is absolutely fabulous. I just love how you did the slight bit of green in the "glare" of the apples. And the shadowing of her dress. Wow. You've got some mad coloring skills.
What an adorable card. I love how you colored the apples.
Thank you for joining us at 7 Kids College Fund!

This card is great! I did notice the stitching because I am always wishing I had that kind of cute stuff on my card. What kind of sewing machine did you get and would you recommend it? I just wanted something small and simple for sewing on cards is all.
Congrats on winning the challenge and SR. I found you on there and now i've become a follower. I can't wait to look at all of your other creative projects. :)
Gorgeous work! Thanks for joining us at 7 Kids Challenge!
a lovely and adorable card!
love the colouring!

What a sweet card!! Your sewing looks fantastic (and how wonderful of your husband to not only give you a machine, but teach you to use it as well!). I love all those apples!
So cute!! I love these warm colors.. Your apples look so good and delicious..
Oh my gosh you have been one busy little lady!!! I have some catching up to do! You're stitching is awesome!! I don't believe that this is your first time..your husband must be a great teacher and how sweet of him to get you a sewing machine!!! Love this card and the notebook paper is the perfect touch. Amazing coloring as always!!
This is cute! I like how you colored the image and the notebook edge is really great!
I was admiring this card early this AM and then saw the good news about it at 7 Kids, Congrats!!
Oh, this is so cute!
