For my journaling I adhered Doodlebug's new cardstock colors, cut into 1" strips, onto a piece of printer paper using scotch tape (already printed once to see my word placement) and then printed everything out again in one pass. I then was able to use my trimmer to cut them down into smaller strips while they were still all attached to the larger paper. It made it super easy!
I reserved three of the hearts near the bottom of my page to ground my title using Doodlebug's awesome new Chippers. I wanted to add the word "so" using the teensy type alphabet stickers, but they were a lighter brown and didn't stand out as much as I was wanting. Guess what? Going over them with a brown sharpie on a piece of scratch paper totally solved that problem! ;)
I hope I've inspired you to create your own Thankful" project using these darling collections. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
This is so pretty. How did you get the fine detailed stitching around the hearts?
ReplyDeleteThank you. It wasn't too bad. I found it easier to actually stitch them and then glue them onto my layout afterwards. I just took the curves slow and used my hand wheel on my sewing machine for some of those instead of the foot peddle. :)
DeleteYou, my friend, are amazing, complete and total AWESOME-SAUCE!!!! This layout is inspiring, beautifully and artistically done, and so well designed!! And again, your stitching - whoa, man!!!
