creating keepsakes has a new special issue out, scrapbooking with fabric & notions, and it's starting to hit stores this week.
Discover how to enhance your scrapbook layouts using buttons, fabric, thread, and other materials from the sewing world. From using quick, pre-made accent options to creating beautifully sewn backgrounds, we'll help you learn the ins and outs of adding homespun textures to your layouts with patterns, step-by-step instructions, and more. You won't want to miss this "sew" special issue from Creating Keepsakes.
here's a sneek peek at one of my layouts in this special issue, where i incorporated silk fabric into my page design. my other layout involved canvas. it was interesting to go from working with such a delicate fabric, to a heavy duty piece of canvas. i'll share more about both of these layouts one of these days.
i have a free copy of this special issue to give away to one of my lucky blog readers. just leave me a comment, and i will randomly draw a winner on friday morning.
