Weekly Challenge #32

Here is my take on this week's Scrapbook Steals sketch, courtesy of a great guest sketcher, Brittany Perry.  I love that it is a 2 page layout, since I always prefer to include multiple pictures.  The photos in this layout were nearly 2 years old, but I recently bought this great My Mind's Eye Confetti collection from the Scrapbook Steals archives and I was dying to use the great red and blue papers that matched so well.   I tried a new technique for the title.  I wrote the word "smile" with a pencil and then poked holes in the paper which I later stitched over with embroidery floss.  I learned the hard way that I should have written the word a bit bigger or left more space between my poked holes, because some of them tore due to being too close to another hole.   For the rest of the stitching, I used my sew easy to make a pierced line and stitched the rest.  Thanks for looking!
