I am a little confused by the finished pages... I read this last night and looked it all over and then went to bed to think about it... So have just wandered through 3 pages worth of pages... I am seeing many items that should be 3 dimensional as being stitched down butterflies , flowers and ribbons to name a few... thought the instructions were pretty clear , that if you would not be sewing down with a machine they needed to be placed as extras on top of the stitching... since I was called on a different challenge on basically a technicality of interpretation and had to make changes, I just wanted to make sure here... I did realize that if the element was actually a sticker, such as the one of a camera, then of course it could be stitched down, but if a 3D element , then it would have to go over the stitching. I am going for a walk and will be back to starting this later today. I am assuming that the ones where things like a sprig of leaves has one leaf stitched down , and the others flowing over is allowed... Nice look!
