The Cut Shoppe | Be Awesome

Hello!  I have a simple and fun layout to share with you today using the Trippy Triangles cut file and the Words To Live By cut file!  As soon as I saw the new Happy Things collection from Pinkfresh Studio, I knew I just had to use it along with the Trippy Triangles background!

How To:  I arranged a couple of triangles from the Trippy Triangles cut file and the "Be Awesome" title onto my workspace in Silhouette Studio and cut them out of 12x12 white cardstock.  After my cut was complete I adhered patterned paper to the backside of "awesome" and my triangle cuts.

I then printed a 4x6 photo and placed it behind the "Be" word.  I used a needle and black thread to hand stitch around my cut out triangles.  I then adhered acrylic triangle pieces (from the collection) and a couple of hand cut triangles around my design.  I flicked black spray mist across my page, and finished by adhering wood veneer pieces and puffy stickers.

Words To Live By

I hope that you are inspired by my page today, and try to create your own triangular background, I'm sure it would be awesome!!

Scrapbook Circle | Our Story

Hi there!  I have a layout to share today using the March Here's The Story kit from Scrapbook Circle!  This month's kit, may just be one of my favorites!  I love the mix of Pinkfresh studios papers in this kit and the eclectic mix of embellishments!

To create my layout, I first splashed blue watercolor paint against a white cardstock background and then set aside to dry.  Next, I used their exclusive March cut file (included in the main kit) to create my background (confetti dot paper).  I used a circle punch to punch out pattern papers from the kit and the exclusive "Our Story" cards, and then stitched them onto my page using a sewing machine.  I spritzed small areas with green spray mist and then adhered my photo and various die cut embellishments.  

Thanks for looking!

Scrapbook Circle | Take Two

Hi, I'm here today to share my Take Two layout for Scrapbook Circle using the March Here's The Story kit. This month I was inspired by an older layout of mine.

I have a thing for diamond shapes on my layouts.  Below is my older layout that I created using the December kit.  I created a similar pattern on my new layout using triangles pieced together, to create diamond shapes.  Both pages share the same title "hello", splashes of black ink, a diamond shaped photo and lots of fun embellishments.  

Here's a closeup of my layout for you.  I used embellishments from the March Tell Me add-on and On My Way add-on kit.

Thanks for looking!

Scrapbook Circle | String Art

Inspired by the new string art trend that is popping up on cards, scrapbook pages and wall art everywhere - I decided to create this fun look using the March Here's The Story kit from Scrapbook Circle.

To create my string art layout I used the Sweet Hearts cut file from The Cut Shoppe as a template.  I enlarged it and then cut it out with my Silhouette.  I placed the template over my background paper and then used a hole piercer to poke holes.  After all of my holes had been pierced I began to string the design with white embroidery thread.  I used my template as a visual guide so I would know where to thread each string.  After my string art design was complete, I trimmed a few pieces of patterned papers and randomly placed them behind some shapes in the design.  Next, I flicked a few drops of spray mist onto my layout and then added my title and photo.  I finished by dressing up my layout with embellishments from the main kit as well as the  On My Way Add-on kit and the Tell Me  Add-on kit.

I hope you were inspired by my project today.   Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapbook Circle | Designer's Choice

Hi there everyone!  I have a recent layout to share today that I created for Scrapbook Circle using their October On This Day kit and Digital cuts.  When I first opened up my kit I noticed all the bright colors and patterns and wanted to create a layout that was equally as fun.  I had a vision in my mind to create a background out of lots of colorful circles going in a diagonal direction.  So I turned on my Silhouette and picked out this happy cut file (this is actually an older cut file from the shop).  I used the digital file repeatedly by cutting some papers from my main kit.  I also brought in some papers from the October Good Times & Right Now Add On's.

To continue the circle theme I chose two photos of my dogs and trimmed them down to the same size as my other circles.  I used a ruler to line them all up in a diagonal fashion before adhering them down.  Next I used my sewing machine to stitch over them and added a few drops of spray mist.  Then for the fun part!  I added lots of little embellishments to liven up my page.  I love the way the Pinkfresh Studio wood drop stickers and Chickaniddy Crafts enamel stars accent my page.

I also used the Scrapbook Exclusive stamp set from the main kit to stamp this "oh yeah" phrase on my page.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you were inspired by my layout.  Stop by the Scrapbook Circle shop to pick up your October kit today!
