Topstitch Workshop on the Go {Layouts}

We had our monthly workshop this past Sunday.  February's pages were done using Topstitch Level 2 Papers and coordinating accessories.

This is the featured layout in the brochure.  During this class, we learned double stamping (stamping an image twice in the same place to get a darker image).  The stamped images are pop dotted for dimension. I opted not to use Dimensional Elements on my layouts as I have several heart shaped punches that hardly get used and TONS of paper.

This is the second layout in the brochure - Imagine: Understudy.

My friend, Lea Rae, had the Creative Memories Sweet Heart punch, so I used that for the punch in the upper left corner.  The heart is punched in the Chocolate B&T duos, so the small Heavenly Blue heart is the middle from the heart punch - how cool!  I'm not usually one for sewing on my layouts (just not patient enough), but I thought I'd try it here.  I really like the results.  I used a ruler with my paper piercer to get the holes lined up.

This is the third layout we did - Imagine: Salsa.  It was inspired by a layout from Meredith Painter. She did her's in pinks, but as I have boys, I preferred to use the blues.  When I was planning the third layout for this class, I wasn't considering that my new granddaughter would be here shortly, so now I'll have to go back and do this layout again in the pinks :)  The blue strips under the ribbon are just  3/8" strips of the Heavenly Blue mesh B&T.  There wasn't quite enough ribbon left in the Mini-Medley Accents to add ribbon, so I made paper ribbons.  I used the Bitty Brads in the middle of the Chocolate pinwheels.
