Create Layout by Stefanie Ried

Hello and welcome to a new layout from me Stefanie Ried with the beautiful Whimsical collection. I can hardly believe it myself, but I wanted to hand stitch again! Yes, really! I had the idea of an embroidered border in my head so that it looks as if a colorful yarn would make a frame.

And what is the best way to accentuate the embroidered frame? Rainbow colors! I love it. Paige is my greatest inspiration. Also because the new Whimsical collection fits perfectly. First I sketched the lines on the background with a pencil, then the holes were pierced, then I erased the lines.

Then the fun started! This time it worked out great. I finished stitching in one evening. That surprised me completely. My daughter liked the embroidered frame so much that she embroidered her own layout!

When the frame was embroidered, I chose the embellishments to match the colors - I used Puffy Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Enamel Shapes, Stickers, and the Sticker Book. On the layout is a photo of me and my girlfriend Nadine. We met more than 5 years ago at a workshop. She was my first scrapbook friend. It is so nice to meet friends through the same passion. The best!   

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to stitch on your layouts!
