I just love the look of hand stitching on a layout but I don’t have any stitching templates and there are so many out there that I wouldn’t know which ones to buy.

Have you ever wondered how to make your own stitching templates? I did. So I gathered up some supplies and tried to make my own. The instructions are posted on my blog: Addicted to Scrap

Hope you have fun making your own templates.

One of the things I have yet to really do is colorize a black and white photo. Have you ever had a great photo that you would like to convert to black and white and showcase a spot of color. A pretty flower, an umbrella or even a piece of jewelry?

I dont usually link to a site but I found a great tutorial that I would like to share with you.

Check out the Kodak site for a quick and easy tutorial: Kodak
