Smiles and Rainbows

Thursday, May 24, 2012

Welcome!  I am so excited to share this LO today!  Not only and I proud of it, but it is my first LO reveal for thinking*through*design.  Today our *thought* is Stitching.  I love to stitch on my LOs.  I only hand stitch.  I do not own a sewing machine.  There are so many choices win it comes to stitching.  Because of this, I think stitching can add so much to a page without overwhelming it.  But it can ask be a focal point, as I've made it on my page.
I have an "idea book".  In the section for stitching, I have a page where the title letters were stitched. I knew I wanted to try this.  It was harder than I thought to find a font wide enough to sew on, but small enough for the page.  (I did that to myself though with a big word like 'rainbow'!) 

Over all, it is a simple page. I looked for photos of my family smiling to showcase.  The title is part of the journaling, the journaling part of the title.  "your smiles are like a rainbow, they color my world.
Products are Sassafrass, DMC floss, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type, American Crafts, EK Success, buttons and Basically Bare.
