As I have told you all before, I am not a journaler. So when I saw I had Friday Feelings for my blog topic this month, I really needed to sit down and think about what to do for my project. I thought a fun way to put focus on my journaling would be through sewing. This is one of my favorite techniques to use, and I just love the color and texture it can add to a project.
So, I went ahead and stamped out my journaling (since my journaling was fairly short, it didn’t take too long), and then I stitched under each line to highlight it. I added a few zigzag stitches over the lines to add a little more visual interest. If you tend to do more journaling than I do, the zigzag stitches would be great for highlighting specific words.
Then, I just added some fun accents from the Cupid and Expressions Alphabets collections and a few little extras to finish off my layout.

Next time you are looking for a fun way to highlight your journaling, try adding a few stitches. If you don’t machine sew, you can always try hand stitching, stamps, or doodling to get a similar effect.
Hope you all have a happy holiday! Thanks so much for stopping by!
This is the most adorable idea. I don’t sew but I think i could manage that with stamps or even my pen! And that heart you stitched is Amazing!
I LOVE the way you used the stitching to underline the words!
