Explore

Hey yall! I hope you are all doing well on this Monday evening. I just finished up this layout for a new site I found through my friend, Steph. It is called 'Unscripted Sketches.' They give you a sketch and you can follow it for your project. I am also using this for Shirley's 'Touch of Blue' challenge on Treasured Scrapbooking.....so a little double duty! Yay!

This layout is called 'Explore.' This is my husband and our nephew, Carter. I used my sewing machine quite a bit on this one. I stitched around the photo in brown and teal. I did some more brown stitching on the rest of the layout. I incorporated some pom pom trim (which I used a stapler to staple onto the LO) and some lace. I used my Fiskars Threading Water punch and Martha Stewart owl punch. I used the Home Decor' cartridge for the flourish. I also included a metal hinge on the right hand side of the photo. The journaling, which is on the photo reads:

"Carter,
Always know that Uncle Brandon loves you very much! He always has and always will take the time to play with you! He is so good to explain things to you and go that extra mile to make sure you have what you need! You are his little buddy!"Here it is (and excuse my picture skills tonite. I was lazy and did not drag out my white studio. So I snapped it on my kitchen countertop...LOL):

Up close of photo to show stitching. If you have a hard time seeing it, you can click on the photo and it will make it bigger. I know it's hard to see.



As always, thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday! Take care!
