Coordinates Collections March Blog Hop

I was at a crop yesterday, and finished my Coordinates Collections Blog Hop project as well as some other challenges:




I think of myself as being 12; so it was fun to journal some of the things that delight me. The challenge itself was to stitch on a layout, and I wanted to try something a little different. I stamped flourishes on cardstock with watermark ink, then stitched with my sewing machine. In retrospect, it probably would have looked better if I had hand-stitched the shapes because it was hard to see what I was doing and the lines are a bit jerky. I finished a few spots with white pen.
