I love using large titles on my layouts, so I thought it would be fun to make this one really large and create a background with it. I used a polka dot patterned paper from Crate Paper to cut the design, but I wanted some variation in the title. I kept three of the titles solid and made one with an outline. Then I backed the open spaces with a Buffalo Plaid patterned paper. I really like the emphasis it gives to the cut file, and it makes it stand out from the rest of the page.
I decided to place my photo next to the part of the cut file with the Buffalo Plaid patterned paper. I liked the horizontal look of the title, photo and the main embellishments going across the page. I used a mix of embellishments around the photo, to add some interest...and I really love the old car puffy sticker (it reminds me of the tire changing scene from the movie)!!
Once all of my main elements were in place, I still had several spaces of white space. I didn't want to totally fill in those spaces, but I felt like they needed a little something. I used the Joy patterned paper from the Crate Paper Snow & Cocoa collection, and fussy cut some of the cute Christmas trees. I used them to create a few borders in those white space areas, and machine stitched through the center of each one to add some texture.
I hope you're ready to get started on some Christmas crafting, and that you'll check out our NEWEST Cut Files in The Cut Shoppe Etsy store! Don't forget to visit our Holiday section while you're there, to see all of our Christmas related cut files.
