Smile

Good morning friends!  Mary-Ann here sharing my next layout featuring the "And I Quote" cut file.  When I saw this file, I knew I wanted to create speech bubbles with the fun shapes.  I did turn, stretch and remove the wording from the bubbles.  Let's take a look.

I wanted the bubbles to be like dream bubbles if that makes sense.  Visions of what my boys may be thinking about at the time of the photos, cars, cars and more cars.  This Crate Paper product was perfect for this job.

The "smile" was cut from the Candid Camera Cut file.  

A cut that will surely be used over and over again.

Here are the two files that I used on my layout.

Head HERE to the ETSY shop to see what else you may need to drop in your bag.  See you again soon.

Hello Love!

Following Danielle's suit, I have decided to use new love cut files from the shop, but in a non-Valentine way.  Mary-Ann here, sharing an older photo with you, with hot off the press cut files, 

Let Them Eat Pie and Candid Camera.  

I chose the Let Them Eat Pie cut file as the frame for my photo.  

I used the hello from the Candid Camera Cut File and LOVE as my title.

Here is a clumping of embellishments from the Kiss Kiss Crate Paper line.  

Just look at this cut file, you get four!  I used the heart that was cut from the center near my title, tucked slightly behind my photo.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my project.  Head to the ETSY store to find the right cut file for your next project.

I have a confession to make...I really love background cut files!  They are one of my favorites to use, when I am creating a layout.  So when you visit The Cut Shoppe, you will probably notice a "couple" or 50 background cut files!!  :)  I couldn't wait to try out the newest background, Totally Triangles, with lots of overlapping skinny Triangles.  So it is making a debut on the new layout I'm sharing today!

I cut the Totally Triangles 12x12 background on White cardstock, and wanted to layer it over a floral patterned paper included in the Dear Lizzy Serendipity collection.  Then I chose four other patterns from the 6x6 Serendipity Paper Pad, hand cut them into skinny triangles, and layered them randomly under the background cut file.  Once I had the background cut file in place, I sprinkled it with some Primrose Color Shine, and used a Pink Gelato to draw over a few of the areas and smudged the color with my finger.  I kept my photo, title, and embellishments clustered together, to draw attention to my photo, since I went with such a busy background.  I also incorporated the new Candid Camera cut file, and cut the word Hello to add to my page.  These words all have a brush script look and can be used in lots of fun ways on your projects!

You can stop by the Shop today, and check out all three new cut file sets!  I haven't had a chance to use the Let Them Eat Pie set, but I can't wait to play with that one!  And I've seen what some of the DT Ladies have done with it, so look for their layouts coming soon!
