Back to School | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  Marsha here today sharing a traveler's notebook layout.  I used the Background Check cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

When this cut file was added to the shop, I knew I wanted to create a layout documenting my sons' first day of school last year.  It is such a perfect cut file to use in a traveler's notebook, too!

To begin my layout, I cut out the cut file using white cardstock.  I backed the numbers three and nine using some patterned paper from my stash.  I chose to only back those two numbers, making them stand out from the background.  I then adhered the entire cut file to a piece of patterned paper.  To embellish this page, I added a few puffy stickers and used some alpha stamps to stamp my sons' names.

For the other side of the spread, I layered some patterned papers behind my photo and then used some ephemera pieces and puffy stickers to embellish the page.

I used some white puffy alpha stickers and alpha stamps to add the title.  I just love how this layout turned out using this cut file!

Thank you for joining me today!  I hope you will stop by The Cut Shoppe store and check out all of the fun cut files that are currently available!

Grateful Heart | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  Marsha here today with a fun traveler's notebook layout.  I used the new Background Check TN Decorative Page cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

For this layout, I mainly used the Everyday Musings and Joyful Day collections by Pinkfresh Studio.  To begin the spread, I cut out the frame portion of the cut file using white cardstock.  I then backed each section with a different patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pads.  The smaller patterns in these paper pads are perfect for backing cut files!  Next, I adhered the cut file to a piece of woodgrain patterned paper and a cardstock base, trimmed to fit in my album. 

I added ephemera, cardstock stickers, and puffy stickers to embellish the frames, using foam dots to add dimension to some of the pieces.

For the other side of the layout, I layered patterned papers behind my photo and used ephemera and puffy stickers to embellish around the photo.  

A white acrylic piece from Color Cast Designs, layered over a tag, worked perfectly as a title for the spread.

I love how this page came together using this traveler's notebook cut file!  

Thank you for joining me today!  I hope you will check out this and the other fun cut files available in The Cut Shoppe store!
