INSPIRATION | MESSY STITCHING

 

Hi everyone,

Hope all is going well where ever you are! I have been super busy this year - all good things so far but it means I have been out of touch with the scrapping world a little! So I went for a nice long explore through The Lilypad's Gallery to see what the current trends are. I was pleased to see that just about everyone was doing their own thing - not much stood out as an overwhelming trend - both neutrals and colors were in full use - as are lots of flowers, cluster and paints as well as lovely minimal scrapping.

The one trend that seems to be getting a good run is messy stitching frames (yay as I am a very messy scrapper, even in digiland!) and Pink Reptile designs has so many lovely Stunning Stitches kits as well as stitches elements  in just about every kit Mirjam releases that we are spoilt for choice when it comes to making our own frames!  Changing the hue and colour of the stitches equals far more flexibilty to match your photos colour schemes. But you can't go wrong sticking to the classic black or white look either.

I love the Stunning stitches range so much! These are a couple of my favs -

 

 
Or if you want something a bit neater -

Adding these stitches to a current template can change the feel of your page and add a bit of whimsy -

Or adding stitches to a frame a group of photos means you can get away with far less elements on your page as well - 

 Anyway, have some fun with stitched frames, they can be a bit addictive!
