My Little Shoe Box 'Garden Party' & 'Home Tweet Home' |
I used some papers from My Little Shoebox (along with a scrap of American Crafts clouds) and quickly assembled the base of this layout. If it wasn't for all the hand stitching this would have been another quick one! I cut the plane on my Cricut and stitched a loopy flight path. I then stitched the "open wide" in the same thread. After all the time (and patience) it took to stitch those two bits, I cheated and drew stitching lines everywhere else. I added a few extra clouds for a bit more detail and this one was done. I have been itching to use some of these papers and they weren't working with any photo I had to hand but they were a perfect fit for this one :-)

P.S. I always spell 'airplane' like this and for some reason when it came to doing the title I spelt it 'aeroplane'! As I was doing this page I had the tune from an old Aussie TV commercial about 'Aeroplane Jelly' floating around in my head and without realising it I spelt it the way they do. And I don't even call jell-o 'jelly'!!!!!! Oh the woes of a mixed up childhood LOL Here is the advert that was replayed on TV when I was a kid. Enjoy, and don't get the song stuck in your head :-)
Oooh... I had that MLS scallop circle paper. Totally fab LO and the hand stitching makes it so special and personal.
