Scrap Happy Stitched Book Pages
Crimped Circle
I am working on an Ann Wood One Hundred day stitched book project. The idea is to make 20 pages, working for 15 minutes a day, and for a total of five days per page. There are no other rules or themes and no expectations except what we decide to do for ourselves. All the fabrics used in my book are scraps, and I am using a cooky cutter silhouette on each page…

ScrapHappy is a group of bloggers (links below) who post monthly about using up scraps! All genuine scraps are allowed, and any material. Blog posts are published on the 15th of the month – I really love to see what people are doing with bits and pieces saved from the scrap heaps!

What a lovely idea to use cookie cutters as a theme! They look to be vintage ones too. Your post reminded me that I have a box of cutters from my Mum which must date from the 40’s and 550’s – I remember her using them when I was small. I don’t use them now but keep them for my grandchildren to have when they have children.
I like your method of using shapes!
