Using 6 x 6" papers with a large design on them is great for creating a focal point on your layout.
Supplies used - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye; Simple Stories, and Echo Park; Cloud cut file: Sweet Elsie from the Silhouette Design Store; Embroidery floss: DMC; Computer font: Century Gothic
One of my favorite types of 6 x 6" papers are the ones that have a large design or text or something similar on them. I like to use them as a focal point on my layout and then add some smaller photos or details around or overlapping onto them. It makes creating layouts with 6 x 6" papers so fast when you can utilize papers like this.
For my layout I placed the "you are my sunshine" 6 x 6" paper on the center of my layout. That song was one that I always sang to my boys when I would rock them before bed each night so it had a special memory tied to it. Because of that special memory I used a few random photos of me and my boys in two corners of the paper.
To go with the sunshine theme, I added a hand-stitched sunburst design around the whole 6 x 6" paper.
To create the sunburst:
1. I used my Silhouette to cut out a sunburst and then I used it as a template to trace the sunburst design onto my layout with a pencil.
2. Then I pierced the holes with a paper piercer.
3. Next I added the stitching. For the embroidery floss, I used a mix of four different shades of yellow. Since I was going minimal with papers, I wanted to have some variety in the color I used for the stitching.
To add a little bit of color throughout the sunburst I added teeny tiny strips of varying patterns and colors in between the stitched areas.
The last finishing detail I added were a few die cut clouds to go with the sunshine theme.

An FP Journe sport watch is certainly link not the first form of horology from the brand that springs to mind, but what FPJ is producing in link this vein is about as cool as you're going to find in any corner of the link watch world. The Octa Sport is a format that only Journe can produce with rubber inserts throughout that cushion a design language that is consistent withsome of the more haute horology variety from the brand.
This is amazing! I will have to try doing something similar!
