Hello friends! Valerie Bisson here today sharing my "Thankful" layout featuring Paige’s Lovely Lane collection and her Uppercase Alphabet for Stitching Cut File along with the Photo Banner from the 20 Fall/Autumn Cut Files.
Starting off with the background I chose the Through My Lens Paper and brushed on 3 different Distress Oxides across the middle. With the same colors of ink I watered each one down and splattered it with a paint brush in the coordinating area. From papers in the 6x8 Paper Pad I cut the letters "THANKFUL" at 1.8” in height using Paige's Uppercase Alphabet for Stitching Cut File. Then I hand stitched them with a similar thread color to the match the patterned papers. For the second cut file I cut the Photo Banner from Paige's 20 Fall/Autumn Cut Files from white cardstock and also cut it a second time from a gray cardstock so I could add a shadow. I backed it with papers from the Lovely Lane 6x8 Paper Pad and a couple of pieces from the Legendary 6x8 Paper Pad. I included word phrases from the Puffy Stickers and Cardstock Stickers going across the banner then machine stitched it all in place. Sometimes you have an idea after you stick everything down, at least I do, I thought to include stamped leaves in the same ink colors. It worked out ok but would have been easier if I had stamped before gluing everything down. A few more things I wanted to add before I called it done: first I added one of the Rub-Ons top center. Next a strip of torn Be Here Now Paper at the top and bottom edges of the layout, machined stitched in place. Lastly some Enamel Dots and die cut bows complete my page. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you were inspired by my thankful page!
