a close up to the layout.

Hi there!,

Finally the kids are back in school, and i have time to work on  documenting so many memories in my albums, especially when I find new cut files available to play with.  For this  project, I am using the newly released "Bull's Eye"cut file from the Cut Shoppe.   Here is a small video on how i created the background for this project:

For this project, I  altered the cut file's edit points to form a romboid shape.  I backed the entire cut-out with pink vellum, and using foam adhesive, attached it to some pink cardstock (also cut in a romboid).  To complete the 12x12in square layout, I stitched the card stock, to one of Dear Lizzy's new Saturday collection.

Since the layout was constructed in a very linear manner,  the picture was glued on a slant, so that it is prominent on the layout.  A few stickers in clusters around the picture just add a bit more interest to the picture.

For the title of this page, i am using another cut file from the Cut Shoppe, "Friends Forever".  I made two cut-outs of the word.  I used a black marker to shade the edge of the top cut-out, and attached it with foam stickers to the other word cut-out.    A cluster made of tags, and ephemera, and the typed journal lines were added to the layout to complete the page.  Here is the final layout:

I really like the final look of this page,  even though it took a few  tries with the cut file.  As always, let me know if you have any questions about how this layout came together.

Until next time,

Keep on crafting!!

Hello!,

 As i am writing this post, there are many collection arriving at my door step, so I have tasked myself to make a dent on my paper stash.  Trust me,  it is not easy, as I love pretty paper, and have lots of it safely kept in Iris containers.  But i knew that I had to work on trying to use up the collections, so I created this layout with a combination of many small pieces of different collections.

I am using the "Fresh Squeezed" cut file from the Cut Shoppe to document a picture of my littles taking a rest while shopping around the local plaza.  They both have drinks on their hands, so the cut-out was perfect  for this project.  I am using a combination of vellum, Simple Stories' Sunshine and Happiness collection, and The Cut Shoppe's Sunny Side up digital collection papers to back the cut out.  I attached it to the white cardstock using foam adhesive squares, so that there is dimension on the page.

I framed the picture with papers from the collection, and added pieces from different collections in clusters around it.

For the title, I used one of the cardstock  paper piece from the Sunshine and Happiness collection.  Once again, I am using foam adhesive to attach it to the cut-out, so that it will stand out in the page.

Finally I added some details around the page, and a few lines of journal to the bottom of the page.

Here is the final layout:

This page is one of my favorites, as it tells the story of my littles on a hot summer day, plus i got to combine different collections in a coherent look.

As always let me know if you have any questions.  Thank you for visiting today.

See you around!!
