Yet another layout created with the left overs from Emma Trout's Western Romance kit from Scrapstars - strange feeling of de ja vu here, think I've used this line in the last gazzillion posts. This really does use up lots of scraps, even the very tiny scraps have been rolled and made into flowers to get the most from every piece. I used a We Are Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool to make the holes to stitch in. I found it didn't go through the paper and cardstock very well no matter how much pressure I put on it so I had to poke the holes with a pokey tool. I used the needle supplied with the Sew Easy tool but found I had to re poken the holes again cos the needle is huge and was too big for the little holes. I would have swapped to a smaller needle but I'd taken my needle box to work to sew up some scarves I've knit. The title box I made from my new labels 4 Spellbinder set that jumped into my basket in Hobbycraft, Leeds at the weekend, well there was a £5 off voucher in the Hobbycraft magazine so it would have been rude not to! The photo is of the lovely Kirsty Wiseman and I pinched it off of one of her Facebook posts, she is such a laugh.
I have another layout almost finished, just waiting for a photo adding, and guess what? Yep, it is made with the very, very, very last scraps from this kit. I have had to throw in an envelope to bulk out the tiny scraps of paper and most of the scraps were too small to stick to the base sheet of cardstock for fear of leaving gaps so they are all stuck to the envelope but I love it, I will post it tomorrow once I've popped a photo on it. Have a great day.
Great page Lesley, love the black matting really makes Kirsty pop off the page! How many layouts have you got out of this kit now?!?!?
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachael, I've done the original layout plus 5 additional layouts all together.
