Practical Scrappers: Sew Crazy Sketch Challenge

I love Scrapbook Page Sketch Day on Practical Scrappers.  I love the sketches Liz gives us to work with.  Here is August's sketch:

 

 



And here is my take on it:

 

And here is a little close up of the sewing I did on my sketch.  I *may* have gone a little crazy with the decorative sketches on my sewing machine...there are actually 4 different stitches on the layout.

I used my August Gossamer Blue kit for the papers.  I fell in love with this chevron paper.  It is actually where I started on this page.  Do you do that?  Start with paper, then find pictures to go with it?  The embellishments are an assortment from my stash. 

Cheers!
