Flip Flopping

Hi everyone,  
I have a layout to share a today using some super cute files from the The Cut Shoppe.

Life is Better in Flip Flops

I don't know about you, but I could wear flip flops or sandals all year long.  I used the fun flip flopping cut file to create my title for my layout.  I used the pie charts cut file to create those adorable hearts and backed them with some fun patterned papers from the Amy Tangerine Plus one collection.

This layout came together rather quickly because of all the fun cut files added so much that I didn't need to add much more.  See those fun little plus signs that I stitched on to the layout.  Those are leftover pieces that I saved from another project that uses the Plus Infinity background cut file.

I used Flip Flopping

and Pie Hearts

Mix and Match Layouts with American Crafts

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are having a great week so far.  I had a couple of layouts that went up on the American Crafts Blog yesterday.  For my assignment this month I was asked to mix and match some of the AC collections.  I chose to mix and match the Dear Lizzy Daydreamer and Amy Tangerine Cut and Paste collections because I love the way their colors and patterns mix together.



Sweet Layout

I love to mix and match the American Crafts collections.  It is an easy way to create a whole different look and really stretch your supplies.  To create this layout I started with X File cut  from The Cut Shoppe and added lots of fun patterned papers behind.  

 I added some fun stitching (both by hand and by sewing machine) and some ink mist and a few embellishments.

Cherish Layout

To create my second layout, I started by adding some watercolor paint to my background and then created a fun triangle background using lots of pieces that I cut with my Silhouette.

After adhering the triangle shapes I stitched over them using a straight stitch on my sewing machine,  and repeated the pattern to make a lined background.

Hi everyone,

I'm back again today with more birthday themed projects.  Last week - I had a total of 4 projects up on the American Crafts blog, but was traveling so I'm trying to play catch up now.

I like my birthday themed layouts to be as fun and full of life as the birthday subjects themselves.  The Amy Tangerine Plus one collection features embellishments and papers that breathe fun into your layouts.


15 Layout

I used the photo frame dies (included in the Amy Tan Plus One Associate pack) as the main focus of my layout.  After that, everything came together in a snap.  I added in a few punched banner pieces and tags taken from the super adorable sticker roll and strung them along using Plus One clothespins and AC twine.  I just love how it came out!
