Bloom

Scrapbook Layout created for The Cut Shoppe  - BLOOM -

Hello friends!,


Today I am up on the Cut Shoppe blog with a new project that  features one of my favorite things, "white".  What can I say, I love using white on my projects, and this is a sum of many of my favorite things.

 

It all started with this flower cut outs from the Funky Florals cut file.  Once cut from white cardstock, they were backed with papers from the Oh My Heart collection.

A compass was used to create the large circles were the flowers were attached to.  A bit of foam adhesive creates the little shadow under the cuts, and brings the white on white design to life.

The title comes from the  free Scrapbook Nerd's Bloom cut file - which was design by the Cut Shoppe-  Once again, the title was cut from white cardstock, the center of the flowers were backed with some papers from the Oh My Heart collection, and attached to the page with foam dots.

To complete the page, a few clusters were created around the picture using pieces from all Paige Evans collections (some of my favorite paper collections ever!).  After adding some extra small details, here is the final layout:

I love the final result, the dimension on this page is what brings the white on white design to front, and  makes the  cuts shine.   Remember to check the bottom of the page to see all the materials used.

Remember i am a comment away if you have questions on how this came together!

Thanks for stopping by!

In case you don't know me, my name is Nathalie DeSousa (aka Tachita -my nickname since birth-).  I  am a stay-at-home wife and mom to two teenagers and an Boston terrier.   Now to some fun facts about me:

•  What is your favorite color?  I love black (you will see a lot of black and white photography in my work), but i think my scrapbooking fave color is white with a sprinkle of rainbow in it  (I hope that makes sense).

•  What is your favorite song right now?  Adele is always on my playlist, but Lady Gaga's "A Million Reasons" has been playing a lot lately around the house.

• Who Inspires you?  I find inspiration everywhere, but my mom is a constant source of inspiration in life, and my crafty projects.

• Favorite Book?  Reading is like air for me.  I read my Bible every day, and the Harry Potter collections a few times a year.

•  Favorite Movie?  I love all kinds of movies, but one of my favorite movies of all times is an Argentinian movie, "El Hijo de la Novia" (The Son of the Bride),  If you ever come across it, watch it even though is in Spanish.

• Favorite Snack?  This is easy,  dark  chocolate  - the darker the yummier

• Favorite Food?   if cake is consider food, then Carrot Cake.

• Where would you like to visit someday? It has always been my dream to go to Australia.

• Who got you into scrapbooking?   I fell into this art when my kids were born, and i looked for ways to document their lives.  

• How many years have you been scrapbooking?   I have kept a journal for as long as I can remember, however once my kids were born, i started to document their lives.  Though when they were young, I barely had time to breathe.  That means i have done serious scrapbooking for the past 5 years.

• Favorite Manufacturer?  I don't have a favorite manufacturer, honestly.  I just love pretty paper!!! 

That was fun!  Now let me share what I have created for today's blog hop:

For this layout, i used Clique Kits's March kit, "PLAY", to document a picture/memory of my daughter on one of the trips to the hair stylist.   The beautiful colors in the kit along with the "Funky Florals" cut file from the Cut Shoppe, and some hand stitching created the background for the layout.

The picture of  daughter was framed using pieces from Clique Kits  "PLAY" kit, and a few extras from previous Clique Kits' s monthly kits.  

I hope you like the project created for this hop, and you are inspired to get your hands onto the beautiful Clique Kits's kits.   Remember i am always available to answer any questions on how this layout came together, or if you just want to say hello!.

Thanks for visiting today!
