Friday Challenge - Stitched Words

Happy Friday to all!! I've got a new challenge for you.....just in case you have some free time to scrap this weekend! And get another chance to win a fabulous prize!!


My challenge to you is going to require you to get your needle and thread out. Don't fret though!! This was so easy!! Maybe a little time consuming but I LOVE the outcome and I think you will too! My challenge to you is to sew a word in your title. As you can see here in my layout I chose to sew the word "Smile".

The first step is to jump on your computer and find a font that you want to use and then print it out in the size you need. Lay it on your layout and start poking holes along the letters. I chose to make holes about every 1/8th of an inch to make my curves look curvy and not boxy. Then, start stitching!

After I stitched my word, I wanted to add a butterfly and thought that making it look like the butterfly had created the word would be so cute. Loved it!! Here's a close up of the finished product!!

I hope you give it a try! And I'd love to see if you do but as always, I know you'll link me up here because.......

Here are the details for this month's challenges: You're playing for a $15 gift certificate to Burlap & Buttercups.
