Hello, everyone! Happy Thursday to you! We are getting closer and closer to the weekend, and I can't wait for it! The weather is supposed to be beautiful, and we just may see if we can get out and enjoy it!
Today I am sharing a layout I made for the floral-patterned paper challenge at Lasting Memories - LM #768. I really wish I'd had more time to play along with all of their challenges this month since they were all about patterned paper!
Here is my layout for the challenge:
I had this floral-patterned paper in my kit for Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash for this month, and was happy to get it used up.
The photos are of my sister, Amy, who shares my love of cross-stitching. She always has a stitchy project going, and I am so lucky to be the recipient of some of her beautiful work. I have several pieces she has stitched for me up in my house, and being a stitcher myself, I know how much time goes into each piece. I am so happy we have that hobby to share in.
I will add some journaling onto the tag that is behind the photos on the right side of the layout.
For this layout, I have used the September 1st sketch from Sketch N Scrap:
I had so much fun with this sketch!
Here are a couple of close-ups:
I was so happy to see some embroidery floss on the sticker sheets I had included in my stash bash kit for this month!
These alpha stickers have been lying on the side of my desk for months! They are from Sweetwater, so I am sure they are at least 20 years old. Funny thing is, they had more sticky on the back than most of my newer stickers!
How lucky that I found this little stitchy die-cut in my supplies?! It is perfect for this layout!
Be sure to check out the fun challenges at Lasting Memories! I believe they will have a new theme and a new set of challenges starting Sunday. I know I will be checking them out and playing along when I can.
Be sure to check out the sketch challenges at Sketch N Scrap, too! I would love to see your take on the sketch, too.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!
Another cute layout from you, Lori! Love the patterned papers and stitching embellishments, especially the little embroidery hoop. Thanks for playing along with the patterned paper challenge over at Lasting Memories.
