BLOG HOP

FLY AWAY, KITE

This is my first layout as a Let's Scrap DT.

There's lots of stitching in it: the kite threads, the doodles on the patterned paper, the letters, the clouds. It is time consuming to hand stitch all over the layout, but I always like the results. I wanted the clouds to be different so for each cloud I cut three clouds in slightly different sizes and different patterned papers, inked them, played a little bit with the borders, and stitched them.

I didn't have any vintage paper for the kite, so I had to make my own by creasing some kraft paper and photocopying a dictionary page on it!

FANTASTIC BLOG CANDY

I had some minutes to spare today (I was actually trying to take some time from the 450 words I wrote for Amy Sorensen's AMAZING Textuality workshop at BPS- it helps me if I read the text back after a few minutes doing sth different) and I went through the blogs I follow. Big surprise when I found two FANTASTIC blog candy giveaways! Just click on the links on the right. Hurry up, you REALLY don't want to miss them!!!

While you are there, spend some time looking at the blogs, they are both worth it.
