New Sweetie

Hello everyone! I am Jessica, your guest designer for the month of February. My layout, New Sweetie, was made using the Hearts A Flutter kit.

I used the heart shaped chipboard as a stencil for my hand stitched hearts using some embroidery floss I borrowed from my daughters friendship bracelet stash. First I traced the hearts with a pencil then poked holes along the lines with my paper piercer. After that I stitched away using the back stitch method.

I was then inspired by the Starbucks coffee cup that they have out right now with the valentine theme doodles on them. 

So I got out my trusty white pen and added some Starbucks inspired doodles. 

Last but not least I wanted to give the Chipboard letters a little rougher texture so I took a nail file to them and gently rubbed off some of the finish. 

Thanks for taking time to stop by and Have a Happy Valentines Day!
