Fabulous NYE | Marsha Farris

Hey friends!  Marsha here again today sharing a traveler's notebook layout.  I was excited to document my New Year's Eve photos, and I decided to use the fun New Year Countdown cut file from The Cut Shoppe as a feature on my spread.

For this layout, I began by cutting out the cut file using white cardstock.  I trimmed the cardstock to fit in my TN album and backed the numbers and "Happy New Year" with black cardstock, so that it would stand out on the page.  I decided not to use the star and 2019 that was in the center of the cut file, but instead trimmed my fireworks photo into a circular shape and placed it in the center.  I love how this turned out!  For the title, I used a gold glitter word and puffy alpha stickers.  I added labels, glitter stars, and some stamping to embellish.

For the other side of the layout, I began by printing my photos in black and white into a collage.  They were not the best quality photos, so I didn't mind printing them at a smaller size.  It also allowed me to get more photos on the spread.  I layered some patterned papers behind the photos and added ephemera pieces, stamping, and puffy stickers to embellish.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Make sure you check out the amazing cut file designs at The Cut Shoppe store.  I will see you again soon!

New Year with Joanna Bandelin

Hello friends, Joanna Bandelin here with a New Year's Day layout.  

I used the New Year Countdown for my page.

It's a perfect cut file for documenting those New Year's photos!

I chose some of my favorite colors to back the cut file. All the papers are from random collections but I love the contrast of the bright colors and the subtle woodgrain background.

I used lots of enamel dots and puffy stars to embellish my page, along with some Vicki Boutin ephemera.

I love to finish out my pages with some ink splatters and some journaling.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016

Hello everyone, Julie back with you today & let me start by wishing you all a happy new year, or should that be scrappy new year as I’m sure all who read this are into scrapbooking J I have choose to do a different layout today using the Hello 2016 cut file.

I did not have a photo for this layout so decided to go ahead & scrap without one thinking that this could be the first page of a new album or you could always add a photo later when you have one that suits. I started by cutting 2 papers diagonally & tearing a small piece out of the middle of each which I distressed & curled up. I added these papers to a piece of cardstock adding a piece of vellum behind the gap in the middle. I sewed around the whole page using gold thread & glued the cut files to the page, goodbye 2015 on the top left, celebrate in the middle & hello 2016 to the bottom right. I added a few flair badges, some stars & a few gold mist splatters.

Thanks for stopping by today & again hope you have a happy new year xoxo
