I follow Paige Evans on instagram and really admire her layouts. She does a lot of sewing on her pages and incorporates it into the design, not just as a finishing touch. I thought I'd try my hand at a page as well. You can see her original here.
I started with making a globe cutfile which I then cut in two different papers and also printed for my stitching lines. I stuck the globe stand down on my background then made all the holes for the stitching. Once I had finished sewing my layout (one night in front of the tv!) I then stuck all the inside pieces down and finished off the page.
I incorporated lots of leftovers on this page... stickers from Kaisercraft, Echo Park and Simple Stories, plus different alphabet stickers and brads. A real mishmash of stash but nothing looks overcrowded. The banners are chipboard stickers from Theresa Collins.
I enjoyed making this page and might very well try a few more of Paige's inspiring designs in the future.
You can't see it too clearly but this photo is of my car's speedometer registering 70000km. Well on Friday it turned over to 110 000 km. I've had this car for 5 years now (on 1 Sept).... not bad going.
