Hi everyone, I hope you have been enjoying all the creative ways our talented team has created bold titles all week.  I am sharing a layout today that has a repeating 3D title that also doubles as my background.

I have had this cut file for a long time now and was waiting for a chance to use it in a unique way.  I thought that a layout about my Valentine was the perfect fit!  To create my layout I first cut out my background using my Silhouette.  This cut file was designed by Barbara Picinich for Studio Calico.  I was designed to only cut half of each letter, so that you fold over the other half and have a 3d title!  Genius! 

Because I love patterned paper,  I cut additional X’s and O’s out of various pieces and then adhered them to each popped out piece.  I love the way the title came out but I also love the acetate and gold dipped chipboard in the C’est La Vie collection, so I added those too!  To finish I splashed ink and paint across the page, added my photo and a few other embellishments.  I hope that you enjoyed my post today and that you are inspired to create your own layout for Valentine’s Day!

Pink Paislee | C'est La Vie collection

C'est La Vie might just be my favorite Pink Paislee line ever!  I mean, bright bold patterns mixed with my favorite colors, graphic lettering and some of the hippest coolest embellishments around!

When I first saw this collection online I thought that I had my favorite pieces picked out.  I always do that with new collections.  But then when it arrived in the mail, I seriously oohed and aahed over it for what seemed to be an embarrassing amount of time.  I really couldn't pick a favorite, so I decided to combine top picks all on one page.

I have always been a huge fan of triangles, angles and black and white stripes, so I combined my love for all three to create my layout base.  Next came the layers - photos, cork embellishments, paper clips, ephemera and words.  I started by placing the words in a vertical design and then just built off of it.

I finished my page by adding some mirrored stickers, washi tape and some simple journaling.  I had the best time playing with this collection and I hope that you love it too!
