Our Stitching Week Guest Designer is Ashley Horton!
Short bio: I have been married to my husband Tyler for 14 years (this June) and we have two little girls and one little boy, ages 7, 5, and 3. I started Scrapbooking 7 years ago and I love creating pages about our everyday lives and the big events that happen throughout the year. I really love the creative process of choosing photos and then finding just the right title, papers, and embellishments to tell the story behind the photos. I have had the privilege of serving on several Design Teams over the last couple of years and I have been published in Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbook News & Review, and ScrapStreet Magazine. When I am not spending time with my family or creating, I also enjoy reading, cooking, and watching movies.
How did you get started scrapbooking? I was introduced to scrapbooking through a friend who invited me to attend a Creative Memories Crop. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but once I found out about all of the pretty paper and embellishments that were out there, I was immediately hooked!
What is your favorite American Crafts product? It is definitely a close race between all of the patterned papers and Thickers. Both of them are definitely must haves!

Kimberly Neddo embellished a plain t-shirt and is going to show us how to make one too in this step-by-step tutorial!
EMBROIDERED T-SHIRT by Kimberly Neddo
Supplies: Inspire (63069) - Embroidery Stencil Kit, Capture (63070) - Embroidery Stencil Kit; Other: needle, thread, scissors, fine tip pen, pencil, eye dropper, spray inks, t-shirt
I decided I wanted to make a t-shirt with my stencil kits and I LOVE how it turned out! I can't wait to wear it. I am a huge fan of Amy's creative tools and color pallet.
The first thing you will want to do is line up the template designs you want to use on your t-shirt and start marking it with your pen through the holes given on the template.
I hope you're inspired to make some t-shirts of your own using the Embroidery Stencil Kits!
