Three Things : Fabric (& a giveaway)

I really like the hand-stitching on your page. You're right. We all could use a little bit more texture in our lives!

Cool!
I always love ideas to make unique scrapbooks!

I love what you did on your lay out. I hope I win this little book. I have a bunch of fabrics lying around (well that is neatly tucked away in a drawer right beside my scrapdesk), but I cannot put myself to using them. That reminds me: a couple of years ago it took me three nights in a row to finally cut some patterned paper to pieces for my first lay out. So I will get to it, but every little help is sooooooooo welcome!

I've been looking at fabric lately, but if I collect it like I've collected paper I'll be in real trouble on space.
I've been thinking about trying quilting but am not sure I can afford another obsession like scrapbooking.

I too love using fabric on a scrapbook page and am fortunate to have a space where I can leave my sewing machine out all the time... and yet I've just realised I can't remember the last time I did... so thanks for the inspiration I know what I'll be doing later on given the time, by our newish little person!

Just bought your Life Artist book. Overwhelmed and inspired at the same time!

Thanks Ali, I love the idea of fabric in our scrapbooking and I own Lots & Lots... would love to see more ideas with it's use. This is my first time visiting your blog and I will be sure to visit it often.

I am so loving the fabric right now. it is just like you said, the added texture is so great. I also like how COZY it is.

As always, I am so inspired by your blog. I'm really trying to learn new techniques and expand on my scrapbooking and creativity. Thanks for the chance to win the book, it looks like fun!

I'm afraid of fabric but I don't want to be :)

Wow, this is my first time reading your blog... so AWESOME!!
Love the idea of using fabric on a scrapbook page! I will have to give it a try.
Thanks for the chance at the book.
Blessings!

I have the worst luck winning these giveaways (but still crossing fingers)...I've been thinking of making my little boy a scrapbook he can handle now (also my little nephew) he's almost 1. Oooh... I hope I win. And thanks for the inspiration.

I love the idea of incorporating the fabric pages into your current album - I love the look of fabric, but was overwhelmed by making an ENTIRE fabric album! I can't wait to check out Donna's new book...she is so inspiring!

Ali, I think you're inspiring... the way you analyze things. I love to read your thoughts because they make me question and reevaluate what I tend to overlook. Such as if I'm taking simple routines for granted. I feel so blessed that I should be so thankful to have routines. I love how you're not afraid to be different, be YOU, and enjoy yourself in the process. thank you for being you and helping me stop and take time to smell the roses and enjoy LIFE!

Hey Ali,
I have such a love affair with fabric (and cupboards full) but never actually put it on a page. You have inspired me to have a go. I would love to see what Donna has done with it in her book so count me in. Glad to see that you had a great time being a student again for a change.

Thanks for your inspiration! And thanks for the chance to win Donna's new book!

Thank you so much for sharing and your inspiration! m

I'm OBSESSED with fabric at the moment! I haven't scrapped in weeks and definetely need to find a way to join the two. I NEED DONNA'S BOOK!!! Thanks a bunch!

i love the textural feel of fabric...and the depth it adds to a page. thanks for your daily inspiration!
