We love Mondays because it means the beginning of a new week of inspiration and fun here at the My Little Shoebox blog. We revealed our October Guest Designer on Friday and we are all very excited to have the very talented Emily Pitts joining us this month. Later this week we'll be featuring some of her designs with My Little Shoebox products so stay tuned for that and some other fun things happening here this week!
Today we're sharing some fabulous work with sewing by Design Team member Kathleen Glossop
This layout is so beautiful. The colors just pop off the patterned paper from our Sunday Market collection. In addition to the stamping and layering, Kathleen used coordinating pink thread to sew on her layout.
Here's a closer look at Kathleen's layering. Just beautiful and I love the use of pop dots to create that 3D dimensional look!
Next is Kathleen's layout titled OK, alright. I love that she used the tags and border strips as screens for misting on her layout and then added the black pen to trace and outline around each image. The sewing over the flowers again adds dimension and a special element to complete thisbeautiful layout.
Don't be afraid to thread up your sewing machine and give this technique a try. If you are nervous about sewing on your layout, practice first on a card. It's a much smaller area to sew on and a little less intimidating than a layout. Once you master your thread techniques you'll be ready to give it a try on your next scrapbook page!
Now some fun news for you!
