Love Life!

Hello!

Nathalie here with a new layout for the Cut Shoppe.  For this page, I used the picture of my littles (niece and nephew )  as inspiration for the background of the page.

Since the picture is of my littles on the airplane ride at an indoors fair;  I chose the Give it Whirl cut file to replicate the rotor at the front of the plane.  I created a  grid with the image, and backed the cut-out with  papers from the Fancy Free collection (I chose to color block the papers in the background).

To create the title, I am using the "Words to Live By" cut file.   I chose the first image on the cut file, but played a bit with the image so that the title reads in a horizontal fashion, instead of  the vertically, like in the original design.

This page was so easy to put together ( I think the stitching on the circles is what took a bit longer, but it was worthy), and i love how the soft colors (and all the white space) highlight the happiness of my littles. as they enjoyed the ride.  

a close up to the details on the  background of the layout.

Thanks for stopping by to see my project.   Don't forget to also visit the Cut Shoppe's Etsy store,  there are new cut files coming soon, but there are lots of inspiration to be found in all the other cut files in the store.  Remember to link any project that uses The Cut Shoppe's products to this blog.  We love to see what you create with them.

Take Care,

It's Thursday and I'm back with three new cut file sets, a new layout and a new Process Video!  That's a lot of new!  There's a fun variety of cut files that have been added to the Shop this week, and I chose to work with the Give It a Whirl cut file set.  This set includes 4 circle designs, that can be used in a variety of ways on your projects.

  

 

I wanted to create a grid design with the circle, so I cut nine of them from White cardstock.  Then I used the 6x6 Paper Pad from the Baxter collection from Studio Calico, to add different patterned papers behind the circles.  I wanted my photo in the center of the layout, and I used some of the SC Puffy Stickers and some enamel dots to create a fun frame around the photo.  And I embellished each of the circles with stickers, wood veneers, and chipboard.


You can check out my full process for creating this layout, in my new YouTube video!
