2-Photo Layout Featuring Herringbone Stitch With Twine

Today's layout features the herringbone stitch with twine and a sprinkling of stars. I stuck with a grey and blue pallet with pops of red. This is the companion page to  Hard @ Work so I again used text speak in the title and the same patterns of washi tape.

 Chipboard circle heart and conversation bubble in red with a wood star embellish the upper right of the layout and echo the title.
 The lower right chipboard again offers the heart with a couple more stars. Slipped under the twine, it calls attention to the fancy stitch.
 In the upper left layered stickers are staggered across strips of washi tape.
 The final touch, the title, is matted with red graph paper. A bow of twine is topped with a small wooden star. A second star props up the title card.
 This layout is inspired by the March Jumpstart Sketch Challenge at TheScrapRoom.
I flipped the sketch horizontally and decreased the photo count.
Today's lighting is much different than the day I took the photos for Hard @ Work, but you can still get the idea of how this double page layout will look.

Best Wishes

This card uses colors and shapes to recall a winter scene.
The glitter striped card base adds a touch of glamour.
~ Best Wishes ~
To shape the edges of the blue paper I used Kreaxions Punch #301. I punched a white strip of paper using the same punch then trimmed the inside edge into points. This I layered inside the frame. The bird and pine bough cluster are cut from Craft Smith paper using dies.

Supplies:
Paper:Craft Smith, Bo Bunny
Frame:Simple Stories
Bird Die:Momenta
Pine Bough Die:Poppy Stamps
Best Wishes Die:Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hello

 My children are enjoying Alaska this summer but are definitely missing home. I get plenty of texts and phone calls. My good night texts from my eldest are my favorite. This one ends with
"I love u to Pluto and back, night."
~ hello ~
The bright colors from this collection make me happy. The typewriter and yellow circle washi tape can both be found in the Love My Tapes etsy shop. The look as if they were part of the paper kit.
