Just the way you are

Hi friendies! Today I'm sharing this layout with you that I made for the Paper Issues 'Frame it up' challenge for this month. I loved making this layout. I hand stitch on almost all my layouts, but with this one I went stitching crazy! I basically only did stitching, with little other embellishments. The paper I chose to use is from the Pink Paislee 'Take me away' collection and the speech bubbles are from the 'Turn the page' collection. There is not much more to say about this page really. Enjoy!

Here's to new adventures!

Hi friends! Today I'm on the Paper Issues blog with this layout I made for the This or That challenge using the Turn the Page collection from Pink Paislee.  I picked a lot of this and a little bit of that! I added my own take to Paige Evans' paper plane page, and created my own giant paper plane for my photo to rest in. I also used loads of the ephemera and stickers from the 6x12 chipboard sticker sheet. So here are my this and that combinations, hand journaling and not typed, thread and not ribbon and then stickers and not washi.

 I also created my own background by applying Gesso to the 12x12 white card stock and after it dried I had some fun with Gelato's! I love me some Gelato's! I used the 'snow cone' and 'metallic mint'. If you look closely you can see that I stitched along the edges of the clouds to give them a slight pop. Hope this layout inspires you to take inspiration from a collection and make it your own!!

Here are some close ups!

See you soon!!!!!
