It's pretty hard to believe that we are celebrating this guy's 15th birthday today! It feels like he went from cute little chubby-cheek, curly-haired-Drew to almost-driving-a-car-Drew overnight!
This is one of the reasons why I love scrapbooking. Life flies by and it's nice to have some pictures and stories to look back on and enjoy.
At this point we know that I'm probably going to find SOME way to add stitching to my layout. I can't help myself!
One of my go-to stitching techniques is using it to highlight certain elements on my layout. On this layout I decided to give the three biggest circles in my design a little more attention by adding a stitched border around them.
When I create a design like this, that has a grouping of shapes, I like to add a stitched circle in an effort to say, "Here! Look at this!" It's really great for grabbing attention and you can use it to help you create that visual triangle on your layout, like I have on this layout. Stitching always adds a texture that grabs attention so it's a great technique for leading the viewer's vision across your layout.
It doesn't have to just be circles either, you can do the same with pretty much any shape. I like to stitch a circle around hearts and stars too!

Remember that at the time Omega, Tissot and Lémania had already formed the SSHI (Société Suisse pour link l’Industrie Horlogère – Swiss Association for the Watchmaking Industry) the link predecessor link of the Swatch Group.
Why link It's Affordable: We're not talking high horology here. Inside the Tissot PRX you'll find the ETA F06.115 quartz movement. And that's why this watch rings in at $375 and not a whole lot more. It's link a simple tried-and-true Swiss quartz movement with a steadfast tick that does what it's supposed to do and won't give you any grief. You'll have to change the link battery, sure, but it's got an end-of-life indicator so you'll know when that's coming.
