Anything Goes With ??? Challenge 2!

Stepping outside my box and into the world of crafting.  I've challenged myself to do more with my paper crafting.  Try new techniques, new mediums, new and old products.  Just CREATE more!  Won't you join me on the journey.

It's easy.  Each month I'll challenge you to use a certain technique, tool or product and you create and share!

This month...anything goes with STITCHING!!!  I've simply got an overload of colored floss.  I probably own every color!  I bought it years ago and never used it...well rarely used it.  However, now I'm trying to use it a bit more.  Play along with me.  All you need to do is create anything you like...card, layout, altered art, mixed media..anything.  Of course, you must use STITCHING.

Here is a sample to spark your creativity!


I used this wonderful kit from Home and Garden Welcome to create my layout.


Now it's your turn.  Remember...anything goes with STITCHING.  Real stitching NO rub ons! Just be sure to use STITCHING on your NEWLY created project and link it below by September 30, 2012, 11:59pm est for your chance to win a $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE from Home and Garden Welcome.   And be sure to check out our challenge rules prior to entering.

  3. Hello. I entered a card, but you seem like more of a scrapping challenge. I'll take the 'anything goes' as an okay to submit a card? Thanks, Anni

  5. Thanks for the challenge! I have used stitching only once or twice before, so this was a good chance to try something different. I used stitching to attach the punched gold star to the fabric at the lower left of the photo (where it is hiding a spot in the concrete). I also used stitching (two x's) to sew down the fabric on a slant at the upper left of the layout. I would have used more stitching but I couldn't see well enough to get the needle threaded on my little craft sewing machine--one sad result of getting older.
