This is my page for my July Scrapbook Technique Challenge. This month I challenged you to use stitching or faux stitching on your layout. I also was inspired by a video by Maremi Smallart referred to me my Jayne/ Ozpom and challenged to do a like mixed media project. Jayne, I even added some TH Paper Dolls! I am really trying to get some heritage pages done, so our kids can see their heritage in photos.
Thanks for looking.
Oh, I finally got my sewing machine threaded! Threw the stupid thread helper down and just threaded it myself. Now I hope I don't run out of thread for a while! I don't know if I can do it again! LOL

This is a wonderful collage for your vintage page! The multi media in the background and the delightful layers are so rich and lovely. Sweet page for your memory album.

Fantastic vintage page! Love the photo and the use of the TH paper dolls. So much texture! Great idea to include stitching and I'm glad you got your machine threaded!

Very cool, Sharon. I love how you took on the mixed media with journaling and used it in your scrapbooking - very creative! Love the dolls and the stenciling! Works so well for heritage pages. Hugz

Hello, this is a great outcome! What a neat photo of your ancestors and a lovely bg for it all! First thing I love is the white stamped medallion, bricks, etc. that really draws my eye. That torn paper is super vintage wallpaper and just really fits in the collage. T Holtz people always cool, wish i had some, but thanks for much for the nice review of my project. Keep stretching ourselves, right? HUGS and stay well, Teresa
