You Are

Good morning! Today I'm sharing this layout that I've been teasing on Instagram all week. I'm so incredibly happy with how this spread turned out, and it blows my mind how well it all came together.

This spread showcases the I AM . WE ARE . YOU ARE stamp set by Kellie Stamps. I love that she's gone digital which means I can alter the stamps in so many different ways. Here I used my silhouette to create a template for the stitching. I don't have the sketch pens for the silhouette yet, so I cut out the letters and trace them onto the page I want to stitch on. I added some stamps along the right side and coloured them to match the letters on the left side. I added journaling that went along with the stamps I used on the right, and at the bottom, I added two sentiments from the Digital Kiddo stamp set.

I added star embellishments from an old Studio Calico kit, to bring out some of the colours in the photograph. I added a sticker from an incredibly old My Minds Eye sticker sheet (I think it was from Sweetest Thing).

And a close up of the stitching because it's not always pretty up close, but definitely has become one of my favourite techniques to add to my projects. It's fun and therapeutic, and I just really enjoy doing it.

Thank you so much for coming by to see my spread for this week. None of the links to Kellie's shop are affiliate, just making sure you can find the products I used on this spread because they're available.

Have a great weekend!
