All Stitched Up - Fall Scrapbook Layout

This week on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog stitching is the task. That is something that I already have artwork for whether it be faux stitching, stitching by hand or by machine. And to prove I do still scrapbook from time to time, I thought it would be appropriate for me to share a layout. (I don't post as many layouts as they seem to be harder to capture decent photos of, but I am working on it.) 

I probably shared this layout a while back. I had entered it into a CTMH contest and won - my first art contest win for a layout. While I was Convention, I sat next to Joanne Walton and she told me how much she loved my layout (she remembered it after all this time). Talk about making a girls day! Thank you Joanne!

Home Run = a Memorable Mother's Day Card

This week I went for a home run: Mojo Monday sketch, Heart 2 Heart challenge (Mother's Day), Practical Scrapper challenge (use up stickers) and Jeanette Lyton's Color Me Monday.

I'd have to say this stretched me and a few pieces had to be reconsidered or filed in the trash. I am rather happy with the final project though.  

At our crop on Saturday, we taught the ladies how to make crumpled flowers and brainstormed how to use them. A brooch for Mother's Day seemed to be a perfect fit and what better way to give them than to include them as part of a card.

Hopefully my Mom won't look at this before she receives it this card :)
