Hello Life

We're well into the New Year, but I'm here today to share my first post of 2016!  There are four new Cut File sets that are available in The Cut Shoppe, after our short holiday break.  I always love the background cut files, so I decided to go with the Half Hearted 12x12 cut file for my layout.

I used the 6x6 Paper Pad from the Fancy Pants Happy Place collection to back each of the hearts.  I chose several different patterns, to create a varied look on the layout.  After I backed each of the hearts, I machine stitched down the center line of each row.  Then I placed my photos, title and embellishments in a diagonal design on the layout.  

There are lots of fun ways to use the Half Hearted cut file, and it's available in 8.5x11 too!  You can pick it up in The Cut Shoppe, and you'll also find these other new designs, while you're shopping!
