Weekly Challenge | confettiheart

This week, our member Maren (Maren), wants you to use stitching in your layouts! In her layout below, she used elements from four different Studio Calico items, including the Carolina Moon Project Life® kit, Fairground Project Life® kit, Pop Art Project Life® kit and Fairground Scrapbook kit Digital Stamp Brushes. Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure to visit Maren to see more of her work and keep up with her.

Hello ladies, I’m thrilled to be issuing this week’s challenge on the blog! My layout is one of the last Summer of 2015 pages in my album, so I was including all things summer - bikini, watermelon and flip flops! My challenge for you is to use stitches on your layout/pocket pages. I love using machine stitches for my projects ever since I got my own sewing machine. They can add some dimension to your projects and it’s always a nice eye catcher. My favorite is a zigzag stitch - it's so fun! Some more ideas for you: Use coloured yarn instead of white, stitch borders around your pages or cards, or just make some freehand patterns. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Now it’s your turn to create a project based on Maren's challenge! Share your new project for the challenge in the Studio Calico gallery (add the hashtag #SCchallenge to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by September 28th to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop! This week's challenge winner will be announced in the October 3rd Layout of the Week post.
