Here's a little something I put together for this hop:
(click on image to see it larger)
The papers & embellishments I used are
from Echo Park's following lines: Summer Days, & Little Girl.
twine from The Twinery
I stitched around the scallop circle edge:
(click on image for closer look)
and I stitched a letter "P" and cut it out:
then I did something I've seen but haven't tried too much, I left the twine showing
from the back of my stitching:
& I like how fun & playful it looks next to my sweet great niece's photo's.
(gosh I love that baby girl!)
Now, remember - keep hopping along to the blogs
