Little Moments

Hello again, its Melissa here and I'm back to share a new layout with you.  We've just had 7 weeks of Summer holidays here, and my oldest two kids just went back to school last week.  My layout today features a photo of my third child giving her baby a bath during the holidays, she's spent a lot of time watching me do baby stuff with our youngest who is now 10 weeks old.  I used my December Hip Kit and the amazing Geo Globe cut file.

I love backing large cut files with patterned paper, its therapeutic and creates a beautiful effect!

I kept my embellishment around my photo to a minimum, but did have fun with the little tassels.

I emphasised the circular geo globe by journalling in a circle around the edge.

Here is the stunning cut file.

Thanks for looking!

Hello scrappy friends! It's Zinia here with a layout I create using some of the recently released cut files from the Cut Shoppe Etsy Store.

The cut file I'm talking about is called Flower Delivery. It's definitely my new most favorite design and I have a feeling I'll keep using it in a bunch of layouts.

I'm always obsessed with floral designs but this cut file has something special about it. I love how you can layer the different designs on top of each other to create unique effects.

For this layout, I decided to work with my December Hip Kits and use a colorful pattern paper from the Paige Evan's "Take me Away" collection. I cut out a bunch of flowers from that paper and then I cut some of the solid images out of vellum.

I used my watercolors to paint the vellum pieces and once they were dry, I stapled them with the designs I cut out of the pattern paper.

I covered the top of my page with another pattern paper and then using the same colors, I let some of my watercolors drip down on the white part of the page. Once it was dry, I scattered my layered flowers on the border between the two papers to create a dimensional bouquet. 

I stuck my photo on the upper part of the page and embellished it a little with a few gold accents and a couple of phrase die cuts.

So that was it! I really hope you enjoyed this and got inspired to create a beautiful paper bouquet on your layouts too. Until next time, happy scrapping.

Hello Summer Love

Hi everyone!  It's Gina here and I have a new layout to share with you today using the free Newsletter (Summer Love) cut file and the Bitty Borders cut file. 

Here's my layout:

I'm in love with that Summer Love cut file.  I knew right away when I saw it, that I just had to use it right away.  To create my layout, I actually cut the Summer Summer Summer Love title twice.  The first cut was the full title and then I trimmed off the bottom (love) piece.  The second cut I only cut the word "Love" from white cardstock paper.  I then placed the "Summer Summer Summer" title right above the love cut piece.  I placed my photo behind the love word.   To add color to my page I added watercolors on two of the Summer words and behind the title, before adhering down.  

The small circular hearts are from the Bitty Borders cut file, I simply ungrouped them and then cut them out individually and added watercolors to them.  To finish off my layout I added black spray mist, wood veneer pieces and machine stitching.

Summer Love

I hope this post has inspired you to try watercolors on a layout. It really adds a lot of color and interest!  Have a great day!

Today Is a Good Day to Be Awesome

Hi again!!  I'm back to share a layout with you, using one of the new cut files sets that are available in The Cut Shoppe today!  I used the Addicted to Love 12x12 background cut file for this layout, and I thought it would be fun to add color to the cut file, using water color paint.  And if you would like to see how I put the layout together, you can check out the new Process Video, too!

I coordinated the water color paints on the cut file, with the Life Documented collection from Simple Stories.  I mixed the paints to get the colors as close to the color in the papers, as I could.  Here's a look at how I put the layout together!

Hi everyone,

Gina here, today is my first post for the new design team term and I am excited to share a new layout with you using the Lucky In Love cut file.

I used the Lucky in Love cut file to create my own background paper.  I placed the 12x12 file on my canvas in Silhouette Cameo and then selected sketch to use a black sketch pen to draw out the words.  Once the background was sketched out I used watercolors to fill in a couple of the words.  I also used my Silhouette to cut the Love word a couple of times from patterned paper and then attached them to the layout.  I added a few embellishments to help accentuate my page.

Hi Everyone,

Gina here today to share a layout that I recently made using a couple of awesome files from The Cut Shoppe.  When I saw this beautiful heart background, I knew right away that I just had to use it on a layout.

I added watercolor paints behind a couple of hearts and added the title to the right hand side of the layout.  While adding black spray mist to my layout, I accidentally dropped the bottle.  Oops.  But I kind of fell in love with the large blot of ink that it left behind, so I left it in.  After all, art is supposed to be subjective right? 

Here are the background files that I used:
