Scrapbook Layout created for The Cut Shoppe  -   BOYS  -

Hello!

It is a well known fact that scrapbooking is a mostly female focus business.  As a mother of a teenage boy,  i have learned to document his life using all types of papers, with the help of a cut file,     So, I set out to document a memory using some of cut files from The Cut Shoppe.

For this project I chose to work with a large title, so i welded the Open Letter Alpha with the Cozy blanket  cutfiles.  Once i was satisfied with the image, i cut it out in white card stock,  I then filled just some of the empty spaces with papers from Paige Evans new collection, and then backed the entire letter with vellum.

To add more interest to the page, I simply cut a strip of start using the Midnight Hour cut file on white card stock, and backed it with the papers used.   I then added the pieces to the title, making sure to tuck in the stars under the title letters.

A few pieced of ephemera and  stickers from Pinkfresh studio are perfect to frame the picture, and to complete the page,   Some extra details were also added to the page, here is the final layout:

I love this page.   The cut files were perfect to transform the paper to a more masculine page, especially when you play with a few of them,   Remember to check the Cut Shoppe etsy store to check was is being stocked in the shelves, there is so much inspiration in this cut files.


Thanks for Stopping by!

Love Your Selfie

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  -  LOVE YOUR SELFIE  -

Hello there!

I am half way my reveal week for Scrapbook Nerd,   just  a few more projects to go.  

My little nephew is always on the run,  but he usually slows down for food, and to take selfies.   I make sure to always snap a few pictures of him  - they grow so fast-.   Thankfully my dad also took the picture of my phone as i was snapping the selfie, and gave me a copy.   I love this picture, and chose to use it as the centerpiece for this piece.

For the background of this page, I used a Silhouette cut file to create the large title.  Once cut, i stitched it to the page following the colors in the paper.

  


The title takes a large part of  the page, but left enough space for me to add the picture, and create clusters using pieces from the Life Noted collection, and the Mix #1 both from Pinkfresh Studio.

To ground the page. I added small pieces of papers  as to create a paper corner.  I tucked some pieces from the collections in this paper corners - this helped  create a visual triangle on the page.  Here is the final layout:

Isn't it so cool,  that all these paper colletions, just  work together, making it really easy to document  your everyday momenta.   Remember to check the Scrapbook Nerd shelves to pick most of the materials uised in this page.  I am just a comment away if you need assistance,


take care!
