Hi crafty friends! Valerie Bisson here today and I’m so happy to share a new layout with you. My page features Paige’s Adventurous collection and lots of hand stitching!
I love digging out old photos that I have never scrapbooked before - you get to reminisce and then create something beautiful. For my layout I started with Paper 22 which I tore into segments and then hand stitched all the scalloped stripes by first piercing holes then stitching with a backstitch. The DMC thread colors I used to match the paper are 604, 728, 959, 792, 961, and 3841. Next I placed the torn and stitched pieces of paper on the left and right edges of a white cardstock background, leaving a space in between to hold a title, embellishment, and my photo. In this space I also added in an embossed piece of white cardstock for another fun textured element beneath everything layered on top. I embellished with Floral Die Cuts, Mini Thickers, Cardstock Stickers, and Ephemera Die Cuts. Just in case you have some Go the Scenic Route in your stash, the word Bunny was made with the Mini Thickers. To finish off my page I added white acrylic paint splatters along the edges of the focal section. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
SUPPLIES: Patterned papers, stickers, die cuts: ADVENTUROUS; white cardstock
