Adding Stitching to Layouts

Hello everyone, its Bea here and I’m back with a new project using the Here and There collection. This time I decided to create a memory box to document our vacation in New York. When creating scrapbooking projects it is not unusual to see stitching as my focal element. I love the ‘handmade’ look it gives to my projects. I must admit I don’t spend hours stitching complex swirls, but I’m usually drawn to needle and thread when I want to highlight something on my page. 

This is evident on this project, where I used the Guide pattern paper as a base and stitched a line from Europe to New York to represent our flight. I also stitched a red heart around NY and added NYC letters from the rub-on sheet. The rose gold cardstock airplane on the line is just perfect!!

When I finished the stitching, I placed the paper into a wood frame, and started adding my photos and memorabilia. I layered envelopes, cardstock stickers and ephemera pieces to the bottom of the paper. The envelopes are perfect for holding memorabilia and additional photos.

I placed two photos into black and white puffy sticker frames, and arranged them under the stitched heart. I added my journaling to an ephemera piece with a post card design.

I decorated the top of the frame with the Explore and the keyring cardstock stickers. To add more interest, I hung a green tassel on the ring.

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today! I hope I could inspire you to create your own memory box with Here and There collection! Bea
