Advertising + Inspiration = Ad-Spiration!!

I was looking at the Pottery Barn Kids website (which has great design inspirations on it!) and came across this baby quilt. I loved the handstitching around the edges of the truck and thought it would make a great stitching idea on a layout!



















I immediately thought of the large felt dinosaur that came in the Addicted Scrappers June "Dino" kit and handstitched around the edges of it. It added a perfect "handmade" detail to him and really made the dinosaur stand out. This is an easy handstitching and didn't take long to do. You could use this handstitching around any felt object, cardboard, paper or on the edges of a layout for a unique look. Try it!


















So... the next time you need some inspiration, check out some of the online catalogs like Pottery Barn. Even things as simple as quilts, bedding, pillows or furniture could be your next "ad-spiration"!!!
