Pen Stitched Borders

Have you seen the latest cute pages using a needle and thread? I have but just can't bring myself to get out a needle and thread to complete a page (My sewing stuff has been put away since scrapbooking came in to my life). If your like me and like the look but not the effort, here is a great solution to get the same look without all the effort. 

Get out your colored pens and stitch lines in place of actually stitching. The possibilities are endless when considering using chalks, die cuts, lettering ideas, etc. Here are two ideas to get you started on this quick and cute idea…Pen Stitching.
