For this challenge we had to add stitching to our project. I've seen lots of different types of stitching borders and outlines and all sorts of fun stuff and had never been brave enough to do it myself. Until now, that is. I did it. I actually put paper in my sewing machine! So far they have been so special that paper was the only medium to cross that needle. But I did it! and it was easier than I thought it would be. I just free hand drew some holly leaves, sort of a signature for me, and then stitched over those pencil lines. Then I found a greeting and matted it with a holly background paper (both were from an older slab-the Christmas slab-from Provo Craft). Then I added red and green gems with my i-rock for the berries and the saying. I'm not sure if it's just mine, but those red ones do not like to stay put, the adhesive doesn't like to stay on the gem and it was kind of tricky to make them stay on. Oh and I borrowed some of my kids glitter glue to fill in the stitched leaves.
