This week the Way's to Use it Challenge was suggested by Trudee.....this week find Way's to Use FABRIC in your work. The material, sewing, stitching influence is so big in crafting right now and you know how I love to stitch so I thought that it would be a great challenge!
Now just hold on a second...I can hear some of the groans! LOL There are so many ideas I can think of that would be fun...you just need a little challenge... What about stamping on fabric, stitched fabric, fabric covered journals....What about felt, burlap, twill, denim....all fabrics with lots of possibitlies? If you really can't get past the fabric thing...what about faux linen or other faux techniques. You know what an easy-going gal I am....always want everyone to be able to play in my sandbox! So think up some fun ideas and play along. You have all week, upload as many new creations as you wish but above all, have fun! You might just find some "material" assets!
Please remember to put WT103 in your keywords section and post a link back here so that we can all see your work.
Great idea!! But since I didn't bring any of my TONS of fabric with me to Germany I'll have to go faux...at least to start off until I can get to a store to buy some fabric!! LOL!!
This will certainly be a challenge. I am not one to hoard fabric! I am looking forward to seeing what this talented group of ladies comes up with.

Hmmmmm.....I'll be thinking about this one all day! Do I even have any scrap fabric left? Where on earth did I put it if I do? How am I gonna get it on my card??? Maybe I'll cut up one of DH's hole-y tshirts he refuses to throw out! LOL Thanks for the challenge Julia!
Wow! This is totally MY kind of challenge! The very first swap I was ever in, I used fabric on my card. Here's a more recent one from my gallery, where I stamped on silk with craft ink: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=43494
I'm sure there will be some fantastic cards today. Just wanted to give a hint; I ordered a package of ribbons from "Really Reasonable Ribbon" and it included some torn fabric which can be used to tie a nice bow around a card; so if you tear a thin strip of fabric it would make a neat bow. Looking forward to seeing everyone's great creations.
well.....gave away most of my fabric from my quilting days but I am sure I can find some bit of fabric or twill around the house somewhere......will play later.....thanks, Julia

Well I am going to have to think on this one. All I have really is a sewing machine that a friend of mine bought me. So might have to play later. Thanks for the out of box idea Julia........
Here it is. Boy am I rusty. Anyway thank Julia for sending me down to my laundry/sewing room. What did I find there besides this fabric. Tons of Laundry, and fabric to sew my DD's bedroom curtains. Did that ever take the stampin wind out of my sails. Oh well, the girls don't need curtains do they! http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=14062

I use to have tons of fabric, being a quilter, but I OD on quilting and turned to stampin' and scrappin'. I couldn't afford both so I had a friend sell all my fabric and bought SU stuff. I found a scrap of this burgundy taffitia stuff. Not sure why I had it but I've used it before as ribbon.
FABRIC??? What's that - as I said in my description, that denotes sewing and we don't do that in this house!!! Anyway, here's my first - have a couple more ideas - now, what can I cut up?
Punched flowers

The card I did for yesterday's sketch challenge has faux fabric and stitching. But I think I will try a card with real fabric too. I quilt, therefore I have fabric.
Here is mine. I hope its okay since I had to Faux Stitch my machine was tearing up my paper. Let me know if it doesn't meet the challenge and I can remove it. Thanks Julia!
Oh, I am soooo into this! I have so many ideas running in my head they are banging together and confusing me! I am only capable of about five thoughts at once. I can't wait to play with this one... oh, I already am!!
