Stitching in Scrapping

I have wanted to try stitching in scrapping for a long time. It took me much longer to complete than I had anticipated since I couldn't use a hoop and paper's much less forgiving than fabric.

Overall I like how it turned out. What do you think of the black on white journaling? Matt didn't like it and felt it didn't fit with the rest of the page. I'm on the fence but don't know what I'd do in that space instead.

Very Cute! I like how it turned out even with the black on white I don't hink it looks out of place at all. Good Job!

Thanks guys. The hardest part of the tree was when I had to go through multiple paper layers and the photo. It seems like it took me a couple hours to do just a couple of inches! Next time I try stitching in scrapping I think it will be with a machine.

I love the stitching! It looks awesome! If the black and white is bothering you, try matching the "Sunshine" sentiment and do a white font on a green or blue background, although green might be kind of hard to match. :) I wonder if it would be easier to handstitch if you took a paper piercer and poked all the holes first...

I actually have paper from that set that matches the sunshine exactly. But it looked bad when I tried it. Much worse than the white on black.
