So when I was venting (whining) about my time frustration before, I had completely forgotten about a page I'd already done for Gossamer Blue. Silly me. So I'd actually done 3 from Gossamer Blue and two from Studio Calico. No need to get all crazy at all, huh?
Here is the one I didn't post:
I had fun using my watercolors on this page. Lately, I want to use them on every page!! This was the sketch challenge for March and one of the other Gossamer Blue members used mine for her scraplift for March, too. :) Thanks Heather!! Check out her
awesome blog here!
And here is another one from the Studio Calico kit.
This page went pretty quick for me until I had the main block done. Then I just thought something was off. And I sat and stared at it for almost an hour. *ugh* Finally, I decided that it needed a border and my sewing machine came to the rescue. I didn't want to cover any of the beautiful paper up, so the stitching added just enough of a border that your eye stays where it's supposed to and not wander off the page.
Can I just say, by the way, how unbelievably happy I am that I can now use my sewing machine. I don't do it on every page, but if I want to now, I can. I don't have to rely on my craftier friends. Only the slightest bit of anxiety remains when I start the machine. Yay me!! Let's hear it for overcoming weird fears!!
That's it for now. Until next time :)
