Just made this LO for Andrew's mum for her birthday, Girly bits I've used are - Fancy Pants PP, Pressed Petal Metal word (giggle), Big Blossom -uknown, Paper Blossoms - Unknown, Urban Lily Chipboard Circle, zig pen, oh yes and you guessed it my sewing machine...
Little tip for you today, instead of matting photo's try stitching like I have here, around the outside edge of your photo's, using the edge of the foot of your machine as a rough guide, stitch randomly and with multiple rows of stitching for a 'funky' look... also I've used the same pp for the journaling just sanded the edges to make them stand out a bit. TTFN Gillian :o)
this is soooo sweet! love the pink and your daughter is so pretty! awesome layout!
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I visited you, Gillian - how wonderful to see how creative you have been! Love the LO you posted today - the stitching idea is a good one to try. The photos are perfect!
ReplyDeleteWill hopefully get back into papercrafting a bit more often - live in hope, hey?
Looks like you had a blessed Easter - He is Risen indeed!
What a beautiful girl! great tips as well thanks Gillian
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layout. Fab pics.
ReplyDeleteI bought a full pack of nail files especially for cardstock & photo edges. I get through them so fast!!! then when I need one for my nais, you bet I can't find a single one!!

ReplyDeleteGillian...this is too adorable. Great tip with the stitching.......now i gotta just learn to use the sewing machine, lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Gillian!
ReplyDeleteLovely LO. I allways have photos from boys...I never have a girl photo to make a girly LO sniff, sniff... Even our friends have only boys...
I love the stitch look you make in all your works. I don't have a really sewing machine (I'm a mother I should have one I know...). I bought one from ProvoCraft but it's really a very very small one, not a really sewing machine :)))
Another great page Gillian. She is adorable and I love the cake. You did a fantastic job!
