the challenge is up over at scrap and stamp Saturday and this week it is all about sewing - now that's right up my alley! i love my sewing. i used to sew a lot with my machine but then i started hand sewing on my work using embroidery thread and love the effect a lot more. here's my layout for this week. i used the new Prima Jack and Jill line because it is so adorable. i used sewing on the left side to hide some of the pink in the paper by sewing right over it using a light blue thread.

don't you just adore the little puppies on the paper...

i used a blanket stitch along the edge of the circle on the second page. the flowers were stamped with a set of clear stamp from Scrappy Cat. I added some stickles in star dust and finished them off with diamantes.

by following the lines on the paper with sewing you can create a really cool dimensional effect with texture and change the colour instantly.

head on over to scrap and stamp Saturday to see the other design team member's work and take part in the challenge. you now have 2 weeks to enter your creations and stand the chance of winning some awesome goodies. thanks for visiting and have a super weekend.
