Highlight your journaling - Friday Feelings

December 18, 2009 by Roree 

As I have told you all before, I am not a journaler.  So when I saw I had Friday Feelings for my blog topic this month, I really needed to sit down and think about what to do for my project.  I thought a fun way to put focus on my journaling would be through sewing.  This is one of my favorite techniques to use, and I just love the color and texture it can add to a project.

So, I went ahead and stamped out my journaling (since my journaling was fairly short, it didn’t take too long), and then I stitched under each line to highlight it.  I added a few zigzag stitches over the lines to add a little more visual interest.  If you tend to do more journaling than I do, the zigzag stitches would be great for highlighting specific words.

Then, I just added some fun accents from the Cupid and Expressions Alphabets collections and a few little extras to finish off my layout.

Pink Paislee products-  Cupid:  Bow and Arrow, Love Potion, Postcards, Punchouts ; Expressions Alphabets:  Berry Blue, Limeade

Next time you are looking for a fun way to highlight your journaling, try adding a few stitches.  If you don’t machine sew, you can always try hand stitching, stamps, or doodling to get a similar effect.

Hope you all have a happy holiday!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

    This is the most adorable idea. I don’t sew but I think i could manage that with stamps or even my pen! And that heart you stitched is Amazing!
