Scrapbook Design Idea | Creating a Scene on a Large Shape

I always love going a little theme extreme and one way I really enjoy doing that is by creating a scene on my layout. It's just a fun and playful way to create!
Supplies used - Patterned papers and die cuts: LDRS Creative; Glitter paper: DCWV; Nuvo Drops: Tonic Studios; Embroidery floss: DMC; Computer font: Century Gothic
When I started this layout I had planned on creating a square background with tilted fringe strips, but as I started thinking about my journaling and the story behind the photo it felt fitting to go with a heart instead.
At that point I had already completed the square with fringe strips so I used a large heart as a template, drew it on the back, and very carefully cut it into the heart shape.
LDRS Creative had this awesome package of die cut flowers and I loved that they were big enough that I could add some stitched designs on them. For some of the flowers I followed the design already on them, but for others I made my own little accent designs.
For the rest of the layout I wanted it to kind of look like yard or field full of flowers so I tucked the flowers into the fringe layers all over the heart. For dimension, I couldn't adhere the whole flower with foam adhesive since they are tucked into the grass layers so I added one piece of foam adhesive at the top and then used my regular tape runner adhesive for the bottom part that is tucked into the fringe.
To finish the layout I added some Nuvo Drops to the the center of the flowers and some butterflies all around the design.

With the first Polo link launching in 1979, we've seen a few variations on a theme over the past few decades. The original watch has very little to do, link stylistically, with what the watch has become today but it's worth noting that Piaget's integrated bracelet roots do extend link back to the original integrated bracelet heyday.
This model is from 1997, the very last year that tritium was used for the luminous elements on the dial, and as you can link see in the pictures, the lume has started to show link its patina after 26 years of faithful service. With a nearly flawless aluminum bezel, this thin-cased tritium dial Rolex GMT is an amazing example for the collector who appreciates neo-vintage watches that are known to last more than a lifetime of travel and link adventure.
so i THOUGHT your stitching was by machine but Catherine just turned your layout with the half circles over and NO--it's by HAND!!! So how do you get the HOLES on the shapes to do the stitching? LOVE this flowery layout, for sure!
Allison, this layout is stunning.
