Natsuko's little craft room: CUDDLY BEARS (DT Work)

Hello!! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays:)
My layout for today is the DT work of Scrap Our Stash. This years first challenge is this Tic Tac Toe Stash Challenge!!

こんにちは！皆さん、お休み満喫してますかー？
今日のレイアウトは、Scrap Our Stash　のＤＴワークです。今年最初のチャレンジはこちら！

This is how it goes;
You must use all three items from any horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. I chose the middle row down, DIE CUT, WINTER THEME and PAPER CLIP. So fun, isn't it?

ルールは、縦・横・斜めいずれかの列にある3つのアイテムを使ってレイアウトを作ること。私は、真ん中の列を縦に、ダイカット、冬のテーマ、ペーパークリップを選びました。

I used a picture of my daughter and her friends:) I think I've mentioned this many times but they have been friends since they were so tiny, and are like brothers and sisters. Such friends are so precious, and I hope they would be BFF!!
They were playing at the park but because it was sooooo cold that day, they decided to cuddle together:) All of them were wearing thick coats and the way they hugged each other was so cute, I had to take a picture♡

娘と娘のお友達の写真を使って作りました。赤ちゃんと幼稚園の頃からの友達で、まるで兄弟のような三人♡　貴重な存在なので、ずっとこの関係が続いてくれるといいなぁ。
この時三人は公園で遊んでいたのですが、あまりにも寒くて、ぎゅーっとくっついていました。その様子がとても可愛くて、思わずパシャリ！

This collection from Crate Paper was perfect for this layout. I used white cardstock for the background and used a 12 inch bubble stencil and light modeling paste and glitter. After drying it, I dabbed some paint. I love the texture and the shiny look (sorry it doesn't show much in the pictures). I machine stitched around the paper (my very first time doing this!! so cool!!! and finally I found use of the sewing machine, lol) and decorated the edges with gold washi tape.

Crate Paper のコレクションが雰囲気にピッタリでした！まずは白バジルを台紙にして、ステンシルとライトモデリングペーストで大小の丸を全体につけました。乾かないうちにグリッターをのせ、乾いてからアクリル絵の具をのせました。写真ではわかりにくいですが、キラキラしています。周りをミシンで縫って、端をマステで飾りました。

Some more stitching around the patterned paper (I think I'm going to do this often now, it's so fun♪)

パターンペーパーもミシンで縫い縫い！私縫い物は全然ダメだけど、これは楽しい♪　くせになりそう(笑)
