My first sewn card!

Hello, to all of my talented and lovely blogger friends!
Today is Wednesday!
Time for a brand new challenge at
Our theme this week is
Buttons and Bows!
I'm very excited about sharing my card with you
because it's the very first card that I have sewn with my
sewing machine!
I made it a while ago for this particular challenge 
and I have actually 
posted some new stitched cards since I made this one.
However, this is my first sewn card.
This card is similar to a JOY FOLD
I used my fabulous
She is colored with copic markers and paper pieced.
This is a picture of the inside of the first flap.
This is the inside of the card when it is completely open.
In my mind when I was making it,
 (A long while ago) 
I was thinking that you could
 add pictures
to the inside of both sides for a nice keepsake.
Now when I look at it,
 I'm thinking it would have been 
nice if I added some pockets for gift cards, 
tags or pictures.
NEXT TIME!
