According to Vince

Being that it's Valentine's Weekend I thought I'd share this one today :)  I was originally going to do a he said/she said kind of layout but only the "he said" responded to me when I asked for the details about the photo....lol I'm really liking how it came out! Lifted the stitched heart from Cindy Tobey you can view her layout here on my pinterest 

 I had to tape 2 pieces of paper together in order to trace out and cut a heart big enough for the design I wanted.

I then sketched an outline an inch away from the heart edge,

Loosely taped the heart down, gesso'd the edges and then splattered it with orange and yellow water colour paint.

I didn't have any orange thread and I wanted it to have a warm ombre effect so I used my water colours to dye the thread.

I really like how Cindy went outside the lines when she was stitching so I copied that as well :)  I LOVE how this layout came together.  Definitely a favourite!

Sharing this one today :)  This is my friends beloved dog, they had to put him down earlier this year but he was a special part of the family and cottage life.

I participated in a "ligt the person above" challenge over at Studio Calico and was able to get some beautiful inspiration from avec_la_fleur, you can see her beautiful layout here.

Used some water colour paints to make the bubbles and then stitched around them.  Really liking how it came out :)

Sharing this one today :)  I combined 2 Challenges over at Studio Calico.  I did the February LOAW1, we were to use stitching on layouts.  I'm wising I had stitched an outline around the tree printable instead of putting two lines, but it's done and I'm not changing it....lol  I also used more older product for Just g's Oldie's but Goodies challenge :)

Products used
DCWV - Cardstock, it was the ones that had the pre-cut photo placements.
Martha Stewart Tag that I washed with gesso
Pattern paper is Bazzil and Bella Blvd
Doodle Bug Loopy Lou Stickers - LOVE THESE!
Elle Studio Wood Grain stickers
Studio Calico Wood Veneer.
The chipboard ampersand I'm not sure who makes it, I'm thinking Stampin Up?

Thanks for stopping by :)

Gillian Nelson is hosing an Oldie's but Goodie's Challenge over at Studio Calico and since all I have is older products this was right up my alley ;) It's another cottage layout and I'm LOVING  how it came out!!  It's simple but it still gives me that "cottagy" feel :)

The only thing that is new on this layout is the wood grain paper which I downloaded from Pixel Scrapper. Since my scrapbooing is on a no spending diet I love it when I come across some great free finds and Pixel Srapper has a lot!

Sharing this layout today.  It was published in the 2007 Spring Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker.  It's still really hard for me to read the journaling without tearing up.  It's a very simple layout but I think it speaks volumes and is very special to me.
