Today I want to talk about a few of things I did on this layout.  1st off I want to talk about the mist on this layout.  Did you know that you can buy it as an add on under supplies AND it ships free with your kit?!  Go HERE to see all the FANTASTIC colors.  The chalkboard mist has better coverage than regular mist–don’t get me wrong I love all kinds of mist but the chalkboard is my NEW favorite.  I happened to use banana pudding and charcoal for this layout.  I sprayed the mist on the paper then I took the lid off of the mist and held it over my paper and tapped my hand to get drops.

Secondly, I wanted to talk about the circle.  After my mist dried I took out a large bowl I then traced the circle.  I then sewed over the line–on my sewing machine there is a centering line right on the foot– I just put the line right on it and sewed.  After sewing the complete circle I then adjusted my needle to sew left of the circle–finishing that all the way I adjusted it to sew right.  This whole time I kept the center line center on my foot and made the needle do all the work.  I hadn’t done that before and really liked how it turned out.

Lastly I wanted to talk about my string (from my stash) I took a paper piercing tool and pierced the paper making it wide enough to run the string through twice.  I actually tied the string to the paper!  (So if you turn the paper over you see two lines of the string.)
