Scrapbook Design Idea | Half Shapes Pieced Together

If I could say I was in a specific era right now, it would be playing with half shapes. I am obsessed with them!
Supplies used - Cardstock: American Crafts; Patterned paper: Bella Blvd.; Words for title: Doodlebug Designs, Pretty Little Studio; Glitter paper: DCWV; Star stickers and die cuts: American Crafts; Star punches: Fiskars; Embroidery floss: DMC; Computer font: Century Gothic
To create this layout I used my Silhouette to cut out a bunch of stars in a variety of patterned papers and colors. Then I cut each star in half.
To create the grid design I pieced to different patterned paper star pieces together to create one star. A little trick - use a small piece of tape (I used masking tape) to hold the start together before you adhere it to your layout. It just makes it easier to line them up when it's all one piece.
I adhered all of the stars into a grid design covering the whole layout. And of course I had to add some hand-stitching on each and every one!
Just think of how many shapes this could work with!
• hearts
• squares
• circles
• scallop circles
• triangles
• hexagons
...just to name a few!
It's such an easy concept with a big impact! I highly recommend trying it sometime. There are so many fun possibilities!

Still, I am happy with my three link picks here. These three categories offer tremendous value, variety, and historic significance. They also represent my style to link a tee, which is always the goal with link our Fratello Favorites articles.
In 2017, a gold Lemania chronograph surfaced and sold for link 162,500 GBP by, again, link Sotheby's. The Lemania was gifted to Churchill by the Canton de Vaud while on vacation in Switzerland link in 1946. And earlier this year, a Sir John Bennett minute repeater pocket watch gifted by Herbert Henry Asquith for Christmas in 1905 sold for 76,000 GBP at Dawsons.
