OK, so now I want to reach out and hug Teagan to pieces, too! He is too cute and certainly looks like he's going to be a handful. LOL The details and texture in this lo all work so well together. CONGRATS on your first forays into chipboard, sewing and handwriting! I trust you'll use all of those techniques many more times! And the ribbon! A scrapper after my own heart...LOL WELCOME to the neighborhood! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
This is so great!!! I love the fact that you tried so many new things with it. I am itching to use my sewing machine too - now I see it can be scary, but have great results!!
Congratulations Jen! It's been so long since I had a first time I can't remember. Eh. Hem. Great picture of Teagan and ditto to the comments about the stitching, handwriting and chipboard techniques. The title work rocks and I love how you sewed in the sequins and doodads at the bottom. Beautiful work and I can't wait to see more. Welcome!
Hey! Welcome to the board, ok, I have to say: this is fantastic!! I love the picture (it's soooo cute)... love the colors, blues and greens, you did an amazing job with the stitching for you to have not sewn that long. The handmade chipboard is great, and so is the way you did your handwriting. A really great page ;)
This is a photo full of firsts. This is the FIRST...time that I used my sewing machine. I finally gathered the courage to pull the sewing machine out of my closet after ten years of lying dormant. This is the FIRST...time that I used chipboard in a layout. I decoupaged the chipboard with tissue paper and mulberry paper and triple coated it with clear lacquer. This is the FIRST...time that I used my own handwriting in a page. Before this point I considered my handwriting in a page to be taboo. My thoughts changed when I was looking around my mother's desk one day and came across a notepad with my daddy's handwriting in it; he had passed about a year prior. In that moment I felt something that touched me in a way that I cannot explain. It was then I knew the importance of journaling in your own handwriting. This is my FIRST...post to scrapbook.com!
