Grandma


This is my entry into this months Show Us Your Stuff blog skectch challenge. All SUYS challenge entries must include at least one hand made item and as I'm having so much fun making my own flowers at the moment I made the three spotty net flowers. This month the optional additional criteria was to include blanket stitch somewhere on your layout. I have blanket stitched along both side edges of the pink pattern paper with avacodo jute string but then promptly covered one side with flowers lol. The cardstock base is one of the new coredinations embossed range  - Aunt Grace Bubs in vanilla - I've sanded to reveal the core colour but also added some distress ink over some of those areas too. The pattern papers are Basic Grey Hello Luscious range. The yummy pin comes from the Top 50 Scrapbooking forum market. Thanks for stopping by xx.
