Today's layout is a page that I have been wanting to make ever
since I took the pictures that are documented here. First of all, I used a
sketch from Pretty Little Studio (you can find it by clicking here). I just
LOVE participating in their challenges. I find them so fun! When I saw this
week's sketch, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I liked the grid design, so
I made a little window template in my Silhouette software and cut it out with
my Cameo. I took all of these pictures with my iPad, so I was happy to be able
to utilize the pictures in small format on my page since they're not the best
quality.
I used Basic Grey's "Fact & Fiction" line for
this page. I bought it all at JoAnn's when all of their scrapbook stuff was 40%
off plus I had an extra 10% off coupon. I really like all the little items Jo's
carries of this particular line! I was happy to get to use the supplies since
they had sat in my scraproom for a couple of weeks without being opened!
One very time consuming technique I used on this layout was
hand stitching. I hand stitched every inch of the grid. While I like how it
looks, I don't have the "proper" tools to make hand stitching
efficient. It took me a loooong time to get this page done. I think I used
almost a whole skein of embroidery floss for this page!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

I absolutely love this! the stitching is awesome! great work! :)
Love this layout Heather! I wish I would have taken pics on 12/12/12, but I was at work, so it would have been boring. I like the hand stitching also. I do lots of that on my projects since my sewing machine isn't up and running. Great job!
Looks awesome Heather!! The stitching on the grid was definitely worth it, because it looks great! And I love the different Thickers/stickers you used for the title on your page!
