Craftaway a Sunday - Heritage

Heritage is the theme for Craft-away-a-Sunday challenge. Here is my twinchie of my maternal great- grandmother, who died as a young woman. Her sister married the widower and raised my grandmother, my great aunt, and my great uncle as her own children.

I have included a thimble and some yarn since that generation of women did a lot of hand sewing, crocheting and knitting.

Craft-a-way a Sunday Stripes

The theme for the Craft-a-way a Sunday this week is stripes. I have this lovely Miss Elizabeth's Leaves paper by Chartwell Inc that I wanted to use. It is color coordinated so all the papers in the packet go together. I thought this looked like autumn when the summer birds fly away and the winter birds begin to drift in. This is a 3x5" (Skinny) collage. The bird stamp is Hampton Art and was a gift from my friend Judy in Illinois.
