Patchwork Challenge

I took part in Made With Love's mid-June challenge where we had to:
- include at least 9 squares on our layout - these can be in any size or a mixture of sizes (perfect opportunity to use those scraps)
- include some stitching (and more than just XXX)... somewhere, anywhere on the layout
- and include ribbons

I had this photo that we took as a family back in Dec 2007 (yes, that far back) and it was perfect with the papers from Sassafras Las Life is Beautiful series. I have been hoarding much of their papers and haven't been using them....so this challenge is just great that I can use a few of the papers.


Enjoyed the stitching process - I did straight stitches and blanket stitches. But there's a lot that one can do with simple stitches:

raindrops and border accents

alphas and outlines

Sparkles and photo corners
