Day 23-Blanketed-with-Love_web

For MOC 110 Day 23 - I scrapped about my joy in providing handmade blankets for my family. I found this challenge difficult because it took a long time finding appropriate elements (going through lots of kits) and then making sure they were under the stitching and still looked okay. It was hours of work and I started over twice before I was happy with it.

I used pieces from a bunch of kits... The flowers, circle love sticker, paper leaf collage, heart card, bird, 2 floral bouquet stickers and floral tag are from the ”Heartsong” Lily Pad collab. The sequins, the pink polka dot and blue floral banner flags, and the gold leaf are from the ”Of Wishes, Hopes and Dreams” Lily Pad collab. The leaves are from ”Starlit Summer;” the white feather is from ”Faithful;” and the ”Handmade” tag and paper are from ”Yarn Craft” each by Kristin Aagard. The shades of pink flower sticker, and the tulle is from ”Believe” by Forever Joy, and the glitter feather is from ”Offline” her also. The white tab under one of the glitter stars is from Bella Gypsy’s ”Find Your Wild. I used a heart, a gold foil arrow cutout, and an appliqué from Bella Gypsy’s old kit, ”Everything Nice.” I used the ”Advent” template by Heartstrings Scrap Art which actually had the starbursts, glitter stars and the foliage (other than the leaves) in the template so I left them in place.
