Happy Tuesday! I have another "peachy" project to share with you today! Yesterday I showed you a spring themed layout and today I have a summer project for you! I hemmed and hawed over whether or not I needed to add more images to this layout, but in the end I left it alone.
The minute that I saw these stamps, I knew that wanted little ants to carry Peachy Keen Stamps' Faceless Fruit away from a picnic. Instead of coloring each piece of fruit, I decided to paper piece each piece. If you haven't tried out this technique before, I highly recommend this great tutorial on the Market Street Stamps blog! I have to admit that I am not very speedy when it comes to paper piecing - that's just another reason that I didn't end up adding anything else to the layout. I wanted to make sure that the fruit got all the attention!
I am going to add my journaling to the picnic basket. That should be nerve-wracking....I always like me handwriting - until I add it to my layouts. I try to remind myself that one day Nicole will appreciate my actual handwriting, so it doesn't really matter whether or not it's perfect! Right?
