When short on embellishments...

Stitch. 'Nuff said.

I discovered this when I was running short of my January Studio Calico kit. I like to get a certain number of pages out of each kit, and I'd used a lot of the embellishments, so what was I to do?

I pulled out my punches and stitched.

Here's my page (click on the image to see it larger):

I used a sketch from a Scrapbook Generations Book, One Page Sketches Volume 2. I don't know why it is, but one page sketches paralyze me more than multiple photos. I guess because there are a limited number of ways of putting together a multiple photo page, but an infinite way of putting together a one photo page. The sketch book was a blessing.

The sketch had butterflies, which didn't work for this subject, so I used circles. I had no embellishments left, so I stitched around each circle.

NOTE: to do so, I punched a slightly larger circle, traced around the circle on the page, and punched holes and stitched,

Here's the details:

 

I like the end result.
