Digital Scrapbooking Journal - Part Fifteen

The second session of my Dynamic Stitching class is this afternoon. I only just completed my homework from last Thursday’s class. It took me forever but I’m pretty pleased with it.

I used a photo of a friend’s daughter at her quinceaños. Isn’t she pretty? This journal strips say, “Quinceaños”, “Gisela”, “2005” and the main journaling is ,”lovely as the Flowers of May.”

This layout uses papers from Syndee Nuckles’ French Market and Paris Pink collections, Angie Briggs’ Scenic Route Biggie, Brandy Murry’s Rain Dance collection and Erica Hite’s Love Always Biggie.

The stitched flowers are from Amanda Sok’s A Blooming Fancy and Erica’s Love Always.

I made the cream flower myself (that was part of the assignment). The lace frame came from Syndee’s Faded Beauty collection; the stitched butterfly from Sarah Batdorf’s Butterfly Fairy collection; and the buttons are by Angie, Erica and the Scrap Girls Refresh collection.

[By the way, the Refresh Biggie is free. It is a complete Scrap Girls kit intended to entice new people to digi-scrapping. Sure worked for me!]

Finally, the whole point of this class is how to use dynamic brushes.

So we are using the Dynamic Brush Set: Basic Stitching along with Melissa Renfro’s EdgeIt Styles. The dynamic brushes are so cool. You know how, when you stitch by hand, every stitch is sewn individually?

Well using the dynamic brush stitches is like using a sewing machine. Whirrrr … all done! This layout was done using Photoshop CS3.
