Scrap Books and Cross Stitch

Happy Halloween Pumpkins

Counted Cross Stitch and Scrapbooking…can they go together? Yes! You can stitch a small motif that coordinates with the theme of the page you are working on. Cut around the design or cut the fabric into a rectangle. Dilute a bit of white glue with water and paint the edges of the fabric to keep them from fraying. After the glue has dried, mat the piece on some colored card stock for an “anchor” and then adhere it to your page.

A great Halloween page idea would be to stitch the Happy Halloween Pumpkins. Cut  the design in half lengthwise so the pumpkins will be on one page and the words will be on the other page.as  borders for the layout. The design works up quickly and is really cute.
