thank you for the fun challenge

 

Oh MY... what a challenge this turned out to be... I decided pretty quickly what I wanted to do,, But executing it has taken me 2 weeks!!! I started making straight lines, but decided that is exactly what they looked like, I needed it to look more like string or thread... I bought Mommish's CU stitch brushes, but could not get them to work... came back and tried several times and then life took over... So today, I actually laid out 3 other pages , using string templates.. but decided I was NOT going to let this challenge beat me... I work in PSC5 , but also have CC, thought it might work better in CC... It did, but then CC crashed in mid stream!!! back to my more stable program and making the stitches was a whole different process there... watched a few you tube videos and even searched in my big book for the program... I knew I could make straight lines with the click of a mouse... the problem was, that didn't happen and I couldn't find the ABR that I bought and installed... Well obviously some of this was operator error.... sigh... Part of the reason for scrapbooking is to help to keep the brain working... BTW for the record the process for making straight lines is different in CC than PSC5

 

I hope my string is prominent enough! I love these little stitched elements but rarely seem to use them so thanks for the push!
