When You Run Out Of Letters...

I feel like I never ever have the right letters on hand for the title I want.  I have learned to become very creative with finding solutions.  In this layout, I did not have enough "s's."  I resorted to trimming the sticker sheet to give me an outline of an "s."


This page was completed following two challenges.  The first is a sketch challenge over at Sketch N Scrap.  Here is the sketch (To play along, be sure to link up by May 31st.):

The second challenge is with Paper Issues.  The "Mixed It Up Monday" challenge is to include stitching.  I really do like how stitching adds just the right feel to pages.  To play along, links are due on their Facebook page by June 6th.

Materials Used: cardstock, Echo Park - Paradise Beach alphabet, Echo Park - Capture Life Collection (paper, alphabet, embellishments), Tim Holtz's Distress Ink - Stormy Blue, buttons, baker's twine, and embroidery thread.
