Products used - Patterned paper: American Crafts (clouds), SEI; Tools: Cricut Opposites Attract and Don Juan cartidges (title)
Once I put the whole layout together, I realized the patterns were busy enough that embellishments would be too much. I wanted this layout to be really clean with the cool color combo. So I passed on the embellishments and added an extra frame for the photos with some faux stitching.

I'm so glad you added in this concept too, which is what works for me. All of these projects came out great and the stitching part really made a nice finish to them. Great job everyone
Allison, thanks for adding this fun week, everyday was awesome to see.
I have enjoyed this Stitching week so much. Thanks again for doing this-and I have shared it with others.
I have enjoyed this week too! And learned quite a bit. I think I am ready to tackle sewing. I have been wanting to try it for awhile I think I will finally give it a shot after I get some of the current projects off my desk...this is a good motivator to get them done!
The stitching really take these projects up a notch...even I'd there's no thread involved! Thanks for sharing these projects and ideas all week!
