Today's IC is amazing Benz! Thanks so much for sending us there. When I did counted cross stitch I used a metal board with long magnetic strips to hold the my pattern & needles. Nothing as pretty as your on Pinterest page. I may have to start a page myself!! I chose this one. I stamped & die cut the wreath, cut a smaller circle & stamped the 'for you'. I then colored with Stampin Blends. The wreath is popped up with craft foam. I brayered Old Olive ink onto the raised side of the Birds on Vines ef & placed a piece of Certainly Celery in the folder & embossed. Then I sponged OO on the edges.
I had fun doing this one!
Thanks for stopping by.

It’s beautiful! And I had the same magnetic board and still do. Isn’t it interesting how our hobbies progress! When I clicked on your IC link, I ended up at a tour of a grandmother’s in San Fran...talk about a trip down memory lane.

Your wreath is so pretty, Karen, and I like it is a circle like the needle minders. I don't think I ever used a magnetic strip. I put my needlepoint in a frame or if you used hoops with counted cross stitch, this is how it works.One magnet is attached to the pretty part that has a design and another underneath the canvas which snaps them together to keep it on your canvas as you work. I just love them.
