Sew Cute by Lynn Shokoples

There are many trends for the New Year in scrapbooking. I chose to highlight some of my favorites in this project, vellum, wooden embellishments and doilies. I have all my sewing supplies in a plastic makeup bag, so I thought it was time to put them into something fun to keep in my studio. I layered the doilies on the front with some of the wooden butterflies from the Kraft collection along with a few wooden spools of thread which I covered with the circles from the patterned paper. I also glued some of the Burlap Pleated Lace on the lid of the box to hold some stick pins.

I couldn't resist decorating the inside of my sewing box. I used the patterned paper along with a few sheets of vellum to make the flowers. I thought I should add my favorite saying for when I am quilting "Measure Twice, Cut Once" as a reminder.

There are always new trends in the Papercrafting world and some I skip right over and others are with me for a long time. Doilies happen to be a particular favourite of mine and I have incorporated them into lots of my creations. For this project they are the main focus and I have used them in a couple of different ways.

Firstly I used them to decoupage this plain wooden frame, I started by using gesso all over the frame, then glued pieces of them all around the edges, I used a further coat of gesso and then dry brushed some black paint to highlight the patterns. Finally I sprayed some gold mist to give it an aged look.

You can paint or spray the doilies (taking care when they are wet that you don't break them), I chose to do both here and I then used the sprayed ones as a mat for my silhouettes and the painted ones I tucked around the inside edges of my frame. A fairly simple project with a striking result don't you think?
