I used a selection from the new So Sophie range and today I have two of my layouts to show you:
The first one is simply an excuse to use that blue ledger paper (anything school themed draws me in. Maybe because both my parents were teachers?)
and the second one :
I had my sewing machine serviced and wanted to try it out, so I decided to make a border of roughed up blue to match Thing One's hair. I sewed several lines of stitching one over the other and then took a stitch ripper to them for a distressed kind of look. I think I'm going to try it again on a tone on tone page, maybe for a wedding or a baby layout? The little photos were printed with my Pogo printer and I rescued the Cat In The Hat Stickers from an old activity book.

Great layouts (as always ;) ) and I like the way you sewed round and then ripped it. I think it'd look great on a cream layout or something. Enjoy your sewing - I have a quilt I need to get started on as the baby is due in a few weeks time!
these are awesome pages Sian! i love the paint on the first one. My sewing machine is rather poorly so I am really missing sewing on layouts! xxx
I love the split focus/division in the second layout. That was an idea in the Building Pages class that really intrigued me.
And, love the sentiment and feeling of the first one!
