Another fabulous reveal at LCOM!! As soon as I saw Cindy Stevens' sketch, I wanted to try a layout with the pocket shape - but I hesitated because I thought everyone would do it!! I went ahead with my gut and absolutely love the end result!! Here is the sketch I used as inspiration and the end result for me:
Now, for you out there who know me best, you know how much I love to stitch on my layouts, but that I've been absolutely petrified to try out the sewing machine my parents bought me for Christmas... Yes, I've hand-stitched every stitch so far on all my layouts!! So, with that in mind, I was home last week and my Maman convinced me to bring my sewing machine with me so that she could walk me through my first try with it!! TADA!! My first layout with stitching via a sewing machine!! My Papape was all worried because my lines were all crooked... but when I told him that I actually wanted crooked lines, he quickly congratulated on my first try!! Hee!Hee!
Loved working with the My Mind's Eye's On the Bright Side-One Collection. Also used some Jillibean Soup corrugated alphas, Tim Holtz Chit Chat Words, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, and Stampin' Up brads.
Head on over to the Lets' Capture These Sketches blog for another great weekly reveal!!
