Fall Snuggle

Scrapbook Layout created for The Cut Shoppe  - FALL SNUGGLE -

Hello there!

Today, I am up on the Cut Shoppe blog with a new layout about two of my favorite things: fall and my hubby!  Recently, we celebrated Thanksgivings (Oct. 10th) here in Canada, and we had family come over during the weekend.  Finally, Monday we were on our own, so we went for a family walk around our neighborhood.  As i always carry my camera with me, i asked my son to snap a few pictures of my husband and i along the walk.  This is my favorite of the bunch, so I had to create a lovely memory for it.

I used the Cut Shoppe's Boys Rule cut file to create the circle shapes ( i just cut out the star that was nested inside the circles). I backed the cut-out with vellum, and hand stitched the entire edge of  the circles.

Using the Leaf it to Me, and Oakley Avenue cut files from the Cut Shoppe, I created the leave cut outs out of card stock, vellum, and papers from Ashley Horton's Oakley Avenue collection for Pretty Little Studio.  I just clustered them  at both corners of the page.

The title and embelishments all come from the Oakley Avenue collection from Pretty Little Studio.  I love the color combination, it is perfect for all those fall memories.  Finally, I added a few details around the picture, and  called it done.  Here is the final layout:

I love, love this page! It is my hubby and I to a tee! Clean, colorful, simple and multilayered.

I hope this inspire you visit the Cut Shoppe Etsy store and pick some of the cut files available (they all are beautiful and versatile designs).  Also, the new Ashley Horton collection,  Oakley Avenue, is super cute, and a must if you love Fall as much as I do.

Thanks for visiting today.

See you all soon!

Hello Fall

Scrapbook Layout created for The Cut Shoppe   - HELLO FALL -

Hello there!

Today, I am on the Cut Shoppe's blog with this layout that highlights my love for AUTUMN.   When Ashley shared with us the upcoming cut-files, i knew that the "Leaf Pile" background was going to be a great background.

To start, i altered the 8.5x11in cut file a bit - so that it fit into a 12x12 mat -, and deleted the details in every other leaf, as I wanted to add stitching instead. I cut the file on cream card-stock, and used watercolors and mists to try and recreate the colors of the leaves.

I used vellum to back the leaves the leaves's cutout, and a  multicolor  embroidery floss to stitch the design inside the leaves.  I love the contrast and softness on the page.   The entire background was then adhered to a Simple Stories Wood grain paper using adhesive foam ( i love the dimension on the page).

For the title,  pulled some toner paper, and used my MInc machine to foil it rose-gold. I used the Oakley Ave.  cut file to create the title for  the page, making sure that the letters showed the ombre color effect (just like the leaves).

I kept the details on the picture rather simple (this was the first leaf i found in the fall).  I pulled as many ephemera pieces i could find from my stash, and most come from Simple Stories' Life in Color collection.  Here is the final layout:

Not that i am biased, but i love this layout.  I love that it combines my style to a tee;  it combines cut files, there is watercolor, stitching, vellum, foil, and simple details on picture.  I hope you like it, too. Don't forget to visit the Cut Shoppe's Etsy store to pick these and the many more new cut files that are always added to the store.

Thanks for visiting today.

See you all soon!
