Fence Die Cut for SOUS

Here is a layout using my Cricut/Gypsy and the cartridge- Heritage- for all the cuts on this layout including the fences. I was visiting my daughter-in-law and granddaughter this summer for a few days and we went to Amana Colonies one afternoon. I really enjoyed the specialty shops and all the history in this little village. The best part of the day was going into the oldest working wool mill- and actually seeing them weaving rugs and blankets while we were there-very interesting and amazing at the same time. I just had to buy a wool blanket when I was there for myself.
The paper (kraft color) is by My Mind's Eye which I just layered on the pics with small white borders and cut out some places that we visited from a brochure and inked them with Tim Holtz distressing ink-" old paper". I then hand stitched with cream embroidery floss some x x x scattered on the poage. and journaled in the red barn cut in the middle of the page.
This is kinda a plain looking page- but I wanted it to look that way since life was so simple at  Amana  Colonies.
I will be applying this layout over at Stuck on You Sketches this week for using a fence on a layout.

  5. Oh Debbie...this is great!
    What perfect touches for this page!
    I wish we had something like that around here..
    I really find "old America" one of the most interesting things ever!
    I am certainly NOT tough enough to have been a woman in that
    time but there's something it does to me to remember that time,
    read stories, etc. I am glad you shared this with us!!!!
    Hope your week is going well!
