It's just that Counted Cross Stitch takes so much longer than card making.... and I believe the piece becomes a keepsake, so the time invested is always worth it. I never do anything half way, so it turned out to be quite a big piece!
I made something like this at Stamp Camp last October - memory trays all of a sudden are very popular, and I thought this would be a nice way for my cousin to show some pictures of his son.
I also made one for my principal with a few modifications. :)
Here's the Cross Stitch. I took it for professional framing and tried not to let the glass glare too much in the photo.
Here's the picture closer. I used to hate doing the backstitching, but now it seemed to go so quickly - and it MUST be done for definition!
