Forwards

Here is my second layout with August's like for ever kit.  I looked at this paper and decided there was no way I would use it... but I adore how it looks behind the cut file.  (You can grab it here!)

I used very few embellishments because the cut file and photos needed to be the focus.  I picked a few of the Cocoa Vanilla die cuts and the gorgeous vellum doily.

Hand stitching is all the rage in scrapping right now.  If I had the patience I would have sewn around the words but I opted to faux stitch with a pen.  I won't lie, even this tested my patience!!

The saying is something I need to keep in mind.  With the M.E. things can often feel really slow, or even backwards.  I need to remember something is better than nothing, and even really tiny movements are still going in the right direction.  Forwards is forwards whatever the speed.
