Well, if you didn't get that, it's okay! What I'm saying is, I love transparent overlays for scrapbooking and other artistic endeavors.

AND...I like to sew. I love quilting, although I don't do much of it nowadays.

So...I have just offered the Stitch Collection at Posh Pixel Designs. I designed a number of different stitched shapes, like a heart, that I just love (made my seven-year-old a Valentine at midnight) and they come in black and white.

Here's a layout I did featuring some of those stitches and also a transparency idea that goes with Land of the Free, although it's not offered in that kit yet.

I do thumbnail sketches all the time. Constantly! I'm currently developing a kit of papers that are primarily black and white. I don't know how many times I think I've got the right patterned paper to work with my photos, then I realize the photo is great in color, but the paper is just TOO colorful. Many times, a photo looks better on a very neutral background.

As for my creative process...well....it starts something like this....

The Boy Land Kit is done! But I don't think I'll ever be done working on layouts with this kit. Going through the design process on this one really made me realize just how few "boy" kits are on the market. I have so many photos of my own family that really call for something more masculine, but not too childish. I hope you enjoy working with Boy Land!
