Close up:
I'm a little bummed that all the stitching doesn't show up in the pics. It's hard with such a long LO. But, it's there, all around the edge for a border and scattered about.
My inspiration (and heavy borrowing of ideas - like sewing down the title) came from the current lesson of Festival of Ideas over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. It's a free class and I'm getting a lot out of it. That said, it's very mainstream.
One funny thing about this LO is I realized I've gone mixed-media (and can't come all the way back) when I ran out of 0's for 2010 and instead of looking through my stash for something I grabbed a pasta box, painted it white, covered it with glue and topped the wet glue with red paint. Then I heat set the whole thing which made a very cool effect. I punched out two hears and VOILA! Years ago I probably would have waited to go to the store for matching Thickers.
The paper I used was from my Sept. '08 Scraproom scrapbook kit. I managed to buy these papers, win them in a RAK and then have it sent to me as part of a Guest DT spot. So, I still have a lot of Fancy Pants Daily Grind.
This is my entry in the Created By Hand Take a Hike+ Stitching Challenge.

I love that you incorporated so many pictures cohesively! Your stitching is FAB and I love that you upcycled that box for your hearts!
This is a fabulous LO.. I love it!!
great page!
Love it. Love thae listing for the journalling too. I really know what you mean about the mixed media-ness. Last craft show I went to I didn't buy a lot of stuff because 'I could make it cheaper myself' roll back even a year ago and I would have been bemoaning the fact that I didn't have enough money to buy everything I wanted. Now I just begrudge paying it :P
You bought a boat!
Fabulous page :D

This is such a cool layout! I always have problems with wanting to use too many pictures so this is a really cool idea for fitting in a lot :)
