Supplies used: Gabrielle Cameo, Gabrielle Elegance, Gabrielle Promenade, Gabrielle Romance, Gabrielle Unwritten, Gabrielle Cut Outs, Gabrielle Jewels, Gabrielle Dimensional Stickers, Gabrielle Layered Chipboard Stickers, Gabrielle Brads, and Gabrielle Wraps.

Designer Notes: If you want to give your title an elegant feel, you can simply embroider it using thick thread, like I did on this page. I first wrote her name with a pencil, then punched holes and connected these using colored thread. It didn't took me any longer than a few minutes, but I really loved the effect this stitching/embroidering gave.

Peek a Boo, I See You

by Janis Medina

Supplies Used: Blast Off! Collection - - Papers (Blast Off!, Constellation, Orbit, Stripe, Cut Outs), Butter Cup Journal, Double Dot, Noteworthy, Brads, Stickers, Chipboards, Buttons, Jewels, Wraps, Layered Stickers, Layered Chipboard, and Monkeying Around Cardstock Stickers.

Designer notes: Would you believe that this is the first time that I stitched my title? I tried to do it using simple stitching just so not to overwhelm me. LOL!!! I also used my crochet thread in doing cross stitching, I thought adding a bit of this makes an interesting texture on my page. I also incorporated faux stitching on my layout.

This Girl Loves Mud

Designer notes: I am not a huge "stitcher" on my layouts, but I do love the effect of tacking with my hand stitching. Adding a few X's here and there adds a big punch!

You-er Than You
Tara Orr

Supplies Used: Cambridge Cut Outs, Cambridge Cardstock Stickers Strength & Honor, Cambridge Post, Cambridge Crown Die Cut, Cambridge Chess, Cambridge Stripe, Cambridge Chipboard Stickers, Cambridge Combo Stickers, Noel Postcards, Newsprint Wraps, Antique Lace Petal

Designer's Tip: I used faux stitching around the die cut as well as on my handmade tags. I find the white shows up very well with the darker colored patterned papers. I also took one of Bo Bunny's fantastic petals and 'unstitched' it creating a length of lace to which I applied to the outer rim of some of my die cut as well as at the bottom of my page.

Christmas Tree Frame
Robbie Herring

Supplies Used: Noel Collection Memories, Noel 12"Chipboard, Noel iCandy Glitter Stickers, Double Dot Harvest Dot Ribbon, Double Dot Olive Dot Ribbon, Bo Bunny Buttons and Bling

Designer's Tip: For the stitched border, I used all 6 strands of floss for the green border and only 3 strands for the red border. It is a subtle difference, but adds a touch more interest. The Christmas tree was created with the double dot ribbon. I just stitched underneath the folds to hold it in place. I then sewed the buttons directly to the paper. Just be sure to poke your holes first.

"SEW" dang cute!
