Sketch Challenge with a Twist- September

Hi,
Is everyone ready for this month's sketch challenge with a twist?  I hope so!!  I think you all are going to love it. So here is the sketch:


One of my favorite things to do on my layouts is to incorporate sewing! There are so many fun ways to do this on layouts these days.  There is the traditional sewing machine, using faux stitching with your gel pens and the new sew easy tool (which I think is way cool!).  So the twist for this month is to use this sketch and to incorporate some sewing on your layout.  Pretty fun! Right?

Here is what I came up with. 

I used my sewing machine to create the circle.  I went around 2 times crossing over at times.  I love that effect.  I know you are probably thinking the pictures look Halloween but this  picture is actually of my son playing in the back yard this summer.  I bought him a face painting kit and he and his friends love to have their face painted and run around. 

So I can't wait to see what you do with this month's challenge! Please post a link under the comment section before September 29th.   I will post the winner on Friday September 30th! 

So do you want to know what you are playing for? You could win a this absolutely fabulous kit from Jillibean Soup!  It has everything you need to make some awesome  pages!  I love the twine that is included!
So let's get started!  Remember you don't have to have a kit to participate!  So get crafting and post your link on this comment page!
