I am a week behind but wanted to share my layout for Kelly Purkey's Fun With Type Class from last week. The challenge was to use fonts.
I used a font I had (Harlow Solid Italic) and cut it out of Kraft Cardstock using my Silhouette to create the background for my layout. A little bit different take on using fonts on a layout.
Here's a close-up for the background:
I am addicted to using the same color right on top of each other for subtle texture.
I also used that same font to create my title in Photoshop. I simply opened a digi kit and chose one of the papers and then typed my text right on top and printed it. Easy peasy.
I am also addicted to these little feltie monsters from Sassafras. Love them.

I spent the other day sewing. I would love to say I got more than one pillow cover done (as I had planned) but this one took me several hours. I sort of just pieced it together as I went. ;) I will get around to sewing several more pillow covers soon but for now I wanted to share this one:
I used the Sweetwater Authentic Collection Fabrics from Moda for this pillow cover. (It's an 18" pillow)
Here's the back:
Having the cover button on/off makes it easy to change it out with seasonal pillow covers or wash it when it inevitably gets dirty. ha!
For the flower I used some Therm O Web Heat N Bond Iron On Adhesive on a strip of fabric and then cut the "flower petals" from it, removed the paper backing and ironed then in place on the front of the pillow. Then I just randomly stitched around the petals to secure them and to add a decorative touch.
The center of the flower is a Prima floral and a MM Vintage button. :) Love being able to incorporate "scrapbooking product" into my sewing projects!

I did remove the rhinestones from the Prima Flower. I didn't really like the way they looked with this project and they pulled off easily. :)
Okay, back to work I go! Getting ready for a big birthday party/sleepover tomorrow for my almost 9 year old daughter and then we're going to see Wicked as a family on Sunday. Can't wait!
