Today's tutorial is a simple 1-2-3 for adding a stitched heart to a layout. Scrapbook pages look delightfully shabby chic with hand sewn details. If you aren't familiar with stitching or if you'd like a new stitch to add to your repertoire this post is especially for you.

Step 1: Cut a heart from scrap paper, trace directly onto cardstock or patterned paper.
Step 2: Stitch the heart outline with a running stitch. Tie loose ends together at the back.
Step 3: Run a second thread along the edges of the heart, weaving it between each stitch. Tie loose ends in a bow at the front.

This layout gets most of its drama from using color wheel opposites. The papers are in blues while the photo, alpha, and sequins are in yellows. The backlit fall foliage certainly plays along with this theme.
This sequin mix is Sunflower Flight from Spiegelmom Scraps. You can find it at the link below, while it is still in stock!!!
Life has been too crazy the last couple years to participate with my favorite challenge blogs. I have missed Rochelle Spears sketches SO much. Today's layout is made possible by this luxe sketch from Rochelle for her May Challenge.
To participate with Stacey's Photo Inspiration Challenge I stitched the hearts on my layout.
