Have a look at this creative layout from..........

Sarah Elliott - A Family is a Patchwork of Love


I went with a sewing theme... the 1st Tomato thing I thought of was the infamous Tomato Pincushion. I um... did wound one in the making of this page.
I sliced it in 1/2 then attached it to the page along with a thimble, part of a measuring tape, buttons, thread, needle and... of course, some pins! ;O)
The background is 'patched' together out of Photos and Paper. The Stitching between the patches is Liquid Applique I let dry over night then heated to make it 'puff'.
ALL the title is Hand-Stitched (Can you say "owww!!!") with Green Plastic Canvas Wool and Red Embroidery Floss. I ran some lighter Green Paint over the Title to give it a little more 'pop'.
A Family is Patchwork of Love!!!


Oh Sarah!! there is so much work in this layout and how clever of you to put together a patch work theme. Love all the little sewing embellies you added. I love your hand stitched title, the layout has turned out fabulous.... You must be very pleased with the end result!
Great work - Shazza
