Lurking. I've certainly got a mountain of fabric scraps I need to use up, so we'll see if any of those provide inspiration!
 
I would like to join, please. I love needlework of all kinds and this will give me an excuse to start stitching again!
 
Welcome LuAnnP! You're just an hour's drive from me.

It's fun to lurk too Fierce Armadillo.
 
Hopefully you'll get a spark of inspiration and creativity.

I put that as an option because I've made a few of them myself, and received some as well. There is a thinner plastic w/ tiny holes/squares. I use it w/ embroidery floss. I just cut the size one square less than 2.5x3.5 all the way around and by the time you've stitched your edges it's right sized and fits into a sleeve. I lost my favorite fat, dull needle that I always used to make them w/. I have another big needle but it's pointy and I always poke my finger so it slows me down.
 
If you look in my gallery on page 13, the last pic, and page 14, the first pic, you can see some examples of plastic canvas cards. Sorry, I don't know how to put pics from my gallery into a thread.
