Handmade

This is a great page for the challenge. Good use of things from the collab. Is that counted cross stitch? Made me remember I have one I bought for when my daughter was expecting her third child, our Jasmine born in 2012 which I never did as it was a boy fishing and when Andreas was born in 2015 I did not get around to doing it... maybe one day... 

Love your cross stitch art work! Love your scrap too, the layering, the background. Great page.

That cross stitch is just adorable!!! Love, LOVE that little teddy peeking over the top. What a memory treasure to own and scrap!

Beautiful counted cross stitch piece. The fraying knit matting seems a perfect compliment to this work of art. Love the needle sticking out of the cluster with the curling bit of thread weaved into it.

Beautiful cross stitched art. Poor second kit! LOL Love the themed elements in your clusters

Beautiful work and you did a wonderful job in showcasing it.  I like the busy background and all your themed elements.

Amazing page! I love those stamps in the background as well as your photo. So lovely!

Wonderful cross stitch . Love all the blending in the background and the frayed cloth mating under the photo. Awesome layout.

Sounds like the story of my life...I started a winnie the pooh one for my daughter that I was stitching in the hospital while I was in labor...well that never got finished! Hahaha At least you finished one! Great take on this week's challenge.

That is such a fun sampler! Love the nice big title and that's a terrific cluster!

the journaling says it all...time just gets away from you to finish all the craft projects that you want....beautiful piece though....so detailed and it must have taken some time to produce that incredible cross stitch piece.  so amazing

I love your sampler. I did one for each of my kids Too. Beautiful page. 

Really gorgeous cross stitch page, amazing layout!

Love your cross-stitch and the colours of your layout. It's so bright and happy.

Love your cross stitch and your journaling. It's amazing how long those projects take! Good luck to you!

Lol...maybe when your youngest has children of their own you can finish? Love your layers.

Cute, cute cross-stitch. At least you finished it, I have one that's been sitting unfinished for 20 years. I like how you've continued the bright colours in the rest of the layout.

I think I had this pattern! I too have many projects left unfinished. Love the background and the display of your completed craft. Never to late to make the next one!

Gorgeous layout and beautiful needlework! Love the clusters and the themed ellies. Lovely journaling!

What an absolute trasure!  I love the cross stitch.  The journaling made me laugh.  It sounds like something out of my life.  The knitted fabric behind the cross stitch really sets it off beautifully.  I love the artsy touches in the background, like the newspaper and that stamp!  The cluster with the needle is beautifully crafted and the stitching underneath is looks fabulous.  Great work!

I really like the way you framed your photo with the fabric square element. And yes, I think we all have projects that we intended to start but haven't got around to them yet! HA! Good luck in this week's Survivor Challenge!  

Cute cross-stitch. I like the grunge BG paper and clustering. Good luck!

Gorgeous page! beautiful cross stitched work and terrific clustering. I really like the color palette you used, brilliantly done! good luck!

Such a pretty wall hanging.

I love the texture of the mat that you've used behind your picture and I also really like the background that you've used on here, there is so much visual interest in it.
