Just Be You

I haven't yet had a chance to use my Unity Dec KOTM so I pulled out that set to play with.  I paper pieced parts of the bee and added some shimmerz to the hearts and the wings.  I started to to sew on it, and then a little bit into it, my bobbin ran out of thread....ok, I think I can cover up those few holes after I put a new bobbin in.  So far, so good, until the bobbin thread decided to jam my machine, which made my stitching, well, not so nice.  Aside from starting over, what can I do now....sew another border around the paper and make it look messy intentionally!  OK, at this point I am thinking a distressed card is in order, so out come the sponges, ink, distressing tool, new trims and different buttons (of course by now my desk is a complete disaster).   I sewed the trims on and then added the image piece.  Finally done....and the finished project is completely different that what I had originally envisioned, but that's ok, life would be boring if it went as we planned.  I'm still undecided on if I really like this one or not, but, hey, after all that I'm sharing ;)
