And I saw a page of Brook, she used stitchings but I think we can scraplift it and use strings!
LOVE these examples! Thanks!

for currently inventing, you could do a page of your son playing with legos or figures or something where he is using his imagination to "invent" a pretend world or characters? Maybe even playing a video game since you have to invent your own person or game to play?

For string, I did a search in my downloads and found just a couple straight pieces. I used one of those and just kept repeating it. Here's my layout:


You could maybe use a curly string and put a button where it curls back on itself? Repeat that a couple times and you may get the look of the string art?

For those struggling to find some straight string, have you considered cropping a straight ribbon so there's just a skinny edge left? Some ribbons have thicker/rolled edges, so once cropped they'd look like string. Then add a bevel and emboss to make it look rounded.

Kind of like this:

What does having insight mean?"

"When you have an insight, you have a feeling or emotion or thought that helps you to know something essential about a person or thing. ... When you gain insight, you are using your intuition, or sixth sense. Insight is formed from the prefix in- plus the English word sight, so this word literally means seeing inward."


What about your insight to the COVI-19 situation? Your observations of the community/world, and how it's affected your own neighbourhood/family.

An insight to your kids development or your own growth over a period of time.

Thanks Char! Oh yes the lab ones were perfect!

I came up with something, think I was overthinking it. I just did a search for string in my SSD folder and found the perfect string which led to the kit, an idea for a page and it came together quite quickly

Yes you can use old and retired products, including old SSD collabs, as long as the designers are still selling here.
