Making Lumpy Scrapbook Pages - Love Requires No Map

Layout Reprinted From Making Lumpy Scrapbook Pages

By Lisa Garcia-Bergstedt

Lisa threaded fibers for a stunning highlight to this elegant page. Fiber has so many design possibilities: Weave it through an eyelet border, as Lisa did here, or braid it for a basket handle or hair on a paper doll, use it to tie ballet slippers or lace it around the matted photo—the possibilities are endless!

“Yes, you can stitch with fibers,” says Lisa. Stitching on a page is a hot trend; Lisa recommends that scrappers who hand-stitch on the paper first poke holes with a thick needle before lacing the thread through. “Some fibers are thicker than others; using a needle first makes stitching less of a struggle.”

In Lisa’s Tool Box:

• patterned Paper Pizazz™, vellum Paper Pizazz™, solid Paper Pizazz™
• brown fibers
• eyelets
• brown, black pens
