"Sew" In Love Challenge

Ballerina Girl

I started this page a while back. It was actually in the summer. But I finally printed a photograph for it. I noticed it needed something else around the journaling part. And since my sewing machine wast out, I just sewed around it. I also added a teal colored button too. Much better, indeed!

Lil Cupcake
This year we celebrated Valentine's Day with cupcakes from Influx in Golden Hills. Perfecto as Fiona would say (Dora the Explorer influence)! These photos were taken from my cell phone. Not the best quality but I really wanted to scrap Fiona's silly expressions just before she devoured her cupcake.
Supplies:
Paper fom Jenny's old stash (Thank you!)
Chipboard stickers from Sassafras
Stamps from Technique Tuesday
Wool felt sraps
Pearl Cyrstal Stickers
KI Memories softie button
Singer Sewing Machine

"Sew" In Love Challenge

Recently, I busted out my sewing machine and made Fiona a stuffed animal. We named her Eloise. I blanket stitched, embroidered, used pretty purple pearl-esque buttons, wool felt, and fabric scraps. It took awhile but I finally finished. It just reminded me of scrapping--using all the various techniques,tools, and supplies. Very similar.
For this challenge, you can be as creative as you want! Your page can have anything sewing inspired. Use ruffles,ric-rac, hand-stitches, sewing machine, buttons, fabric, or even draw dashes to make it look like sewing. Like this

Have fun! Can't wait to see your pages!
