"you make me smile"

example of how to create a scrapbook page using metal, fibers, and sewing techniques
Supplies needed:
patterned paper, textured coordinating cardstock, antique lace, coordinating ribbon (about 3/4" wide), various fibers, metal key charm, metal eyelet, Bazzill Bazzinks mini stamp pads, Making Memories metal words, alphabet stickers, Making Memories "defined" stickers, and a pale colored acid-free brush pen

First, select your photos for the page.  Use a 12x12 ecru-colored textured cardstock page for your background.  Next, cut a 12x12 patterned coordinating paper into an "L" as shown in photo above.  Adhere this to the background page. 
Now for the fun part: 
Using a mini craft sewing machine, like the one below, stitch the the antique lace to the left side of page, making sure that it is completely straight.  You may tape any loose threads on the back of the page.  
Do the same for the ribbon on the right side of page.

 Next, cut and adhere the mat unto the larger photo for the top photo. Adhere to page. 
Cut the mat for the 2nd photo, leaving a small area up top for your "defined" sticker.
Adhere to photo, adhere to page.  Add your "defined" sticker. 
Create the tag, using either a pre-made tag with eyelet, or make your own.  Scrape the edges of the tag with your Bazzill Bazzinks mini stamp pads (for the aged look).  String and tie various matching fibers in the tag eyelet, tying in the key charm (key to my heart).  Journal on the tag. 
Add your metal word and then add the alphabet stickers ..."you make me"...
