June Winners

Thank you all so much for sharing your projects with us for June - Altering Your Paper. We had such a difficult time choosing the most creative project! Take a look at what we had to choose from:

We are pleased to announce that the Most Creative RAK goes to:

Stacy! With her gorgeous layout and creative way of altering her paper with jewels!!

Random RAK: Glenda - I love her misted background and the art journal feel to her page!


And my personal RAK this month goes to Tricia - I love her creative way of making her own paper and Tricia has really been spreading the word about The Next Step! Thanks, Tricia!


Thank you, ladies!! Seeing our ideas in your interpretations is so rewarding and I appreciate each and every one of you for your time and support!


Questions:

Michelle asked about using my stitching technique for hand sewing.

You could use any machine stitching idea and translate it into handwork. The bobbin stitching is actually supposed to look more like hand stitching because you are able to use much heavier threads than normal with a sewing machine. So, just buy some pearl cotton or embroidery thread and try out some crazy quilt stitches. I would love to see what you come up with. I did a lot of hand stitching on this layout for an example:

This is me and my dad - cute, huh?


Also, you are all so good to me! I can't tell you how much it means to read your kind words and compliments about my new design team positions! Thank you!

See you on Monday with Beth's take on doodle stitching. :D
