This month's challenge is sewing. Not a stretch for me. I love using my sewing machine when I scrapbook-- I sew on probably 80% of my layouts.
But because I love to be challenged by our challenges (otherwise, really, what's the point?), I decided to step it up a bit and do some handstitching on a page.
So here's the layout that I created:
I used some DMC floss to highlight the design on the We R Memory Keepers patterned paper.
And I thought I'd be bold and sew around the border with my machine. In RED. (That was a new one for me-- it's usually just white, off-white and dark brown in my machine. ;) )
I thought these fun pictures of Cameron and I worked well with the pp. Susan took them for us the day before our 12th anniversary in April. :)
Thanks for looking!
