Today is sew special as my latest stamp set, Sew Special is released today. Here it is…
Sew Special
One of the things I really like to incorporate in my stamps sets is the ability to use them on layouts as well as cards. I know I said I was going to try and do a layout every week…oops, missed a few…but I’m finally getting back into the swing. I used the stamps as a spring-board for the theme of the layout. I originally started this layout out as an 8×8 but thought it would look so much better mounted onto black 12×12 cardstock. I know it’s black but it’s called white space.
Family is the Fabric of Life
The four patterned paper panels are Jenni Bowlin mini papers that I stitched together to form a background. The three black circular elements (two Teresa Collins chipboard pieces & one big button) form a visual triangle in the design.
I always like to cluster my embellishments and this layout is no exception. The sewing basket is colored in with Copic markers.
The photo is a little old but better late than never, right? It’s amazing how much kids can change in four years! And speaking of changes. Wow. Yesterday I had my first day off in almost 7 years. My “baby” started Junior Kindergarten yesterday. He’ll go every other day so it was very mixed feelings for me. It was a hard morning for me to be sure.
