Summer Lovin'

Happy Fabulous Friday everyone!  I love that Frosted Designs posts a new challenge every Friday, because I know we all want to get some scrapping done over the weekend!  Our challenge this week, is STITCHING (you can use machine stitching or hand stitching).  I thought it would be fun, to use my stitching in a little bit of a different way than I normally do.  Here is what I came up with:

 
I thought it would be fun, to hand stitch part of my title.  I hand wrote the word "lovin" and used a paper piercer to poke holes around the outline.  I chose to use yellow embroidery floss and back-stitched over the word.  A very easy technique, that adds a little bit of texture and whimsy to your layout or project.  I also added a little bit of stitching to the chevron border, for a little added interest.

Don't miss playing along with this week's challenge!  You will have the chance to win from our awesome sponsor, Prairie Bird Boutique.  And I hope you will take a minute to visit our Sponsor and leave them a little love.  We are so thankful for our weekly sponsors and their willingness to offer up great prizes to our participants!
