Kindergarten: A Scrapbook Layout with Sewing and Chipboard Pieces

by - 12:00:00 PM

I love chipboard and wooden elements.  They add some great dimension and different textures.  And if you have a lot of random buttons and chipboard banners that need using up, this style layout is a great way to make use of them!

I also love sewing on my scrapbook pages and embellishments.  On of my first forays into sewing was directly on the paper, letting the stitching run in a wavy motion.  Back then, I didn't have my own sewing machine and hadn't really used one much before so I managed to convince my mom to help me out.  Now, We R Memory Keepers has a multi-media sewing machine that is safe to use on paper.

Once the sewing was done on the white cardstock, I splattered some ink onto the page.  Next I fussy cut some flowers out of a patterned paper and matted the photos.

Then I cut some baker's twine and threaded my buttons and chipboard banners on, sticking them in place.  I also added a few more buttons with thread around them or twine tied into a bow.  I clipped on some tiny clothespins.  And at the top is a title made with stickers.

I love how this page turned out.  The yellows and blue with splashes of pinks and purples makes it so chic and there are so many fun elements.
