Guest Designer Mandy Melville

Today we have three gorgeous layouts to share, from our first January Guest Designer, Mandy Melville!  Mandy caught our eye, when she started tagging The Cut Shoppe, when she shared layouts using the cut files from the Shop...and we loved her work!  So we are excited to have Mandy with us today, and to see what she created!  Let's get to know a little bit more about Mandy.

  

I live on the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia. I’ve been married to Andrew for 13 years and we have three children, Abigail (11 years), Isaac (8 years), and Eleanor (1 year). I’ve been scrapbooking for about 11 years, since my oldest was a baby, and it has become more than just a hobby, it’s my passion! I love preserving my family’s memories, and I equally love the creative outlet that scrapbooking provides! My style varies as I like to let the mood of the photos dictate the style of the layout and I like to try out different techniques, though most often on my layouts you will see layering, clustered embellishments, pretty patterned papers, and sometimes a little bit of mixed media. I also love to use my Silhouette Cameo to create titles, backgrounds and other elements for my layouts. I am very lucky to be regularly published in Scrapbooking Memories magazine (an Australian mag) and to be on some awesome design teams including D-lish Scraps, Stuck?! Sketches, Scrap the Girls, and Off the Rails Scrapbooking. I am so thrilled to have been invited to guest design for The Cut Shoppe as I love creating with their cut files!!

And now let's see what Mandy created!

You're the One for Me - So In Love & Plus Infinity

Rainy Days - A Walk in the Clouds & Moody Blues

Celebrate - It's My Party

 

Amazing work Mandy!  We love seeing how you highlighted each of the cut files on your layouts!  Thanks so much for sharing with us today, and if you would like to see more of Mandy's work, make sure you visit and follow her Blog, My Happy Place. 

 

You're the one

Hi everyone!

 

Today I'm sharing a rare LO featuring my husband. :)

 

I have wanted to use the "A Walk in the Clouds" file since Ashley first shared it. I LOVE this design! My fellow DT members have used it perfectly so I wanted to show you a different way to use it - cut up :) Yes it might feel a bit strange to cut up such a perfect file, but be brave! You can then use the clouds on several projects :)

 

 

 

 

I have also used part of a title from the "So in Love" cut file. I outlined it to make it stand out more against the patterened papers and the photo!

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today, please let us know when YOU have created with any of the cut files!!

 

 

 

You're The One For Me

Hello friends! Lee-Anne here with a layout to celebrate my 15th wedding anniversary that my husband and I celebrated on September 5.

Here are some more closeups of my layout…

I put a mixed media spin on my layout and also used the "You're The Rock To My Roll" from the Printables Love Notes

and the heart border below from the Borderlines Too Cut Files 

and also the phrase "You're The One For Me" from the So In Love Cut File for my title that I separated after it was cut and adhered it to the top and bottom of my layout.

These are all available in The Cut Shoppe Store as well as many more and also there are new cut files added every Thursday.  So what are you waiting for? It's time to go shopping!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
