THE CUT SHOPPE

And here is my layout! I based my page on a sketch by Citrus Twist Kits...you can click here to see the blog post.  

And here is the FREE cut file available during the hop! I absolutely love the geometric butterfly!  

I started by cutting the geometric shapes into my white card stock background. I then cut the entire butterfly with the Pink Paislee Fancy Free #08 print. I also back my card stock with the multicolored Fancy Free #06 page.  

I love the little pieces of embellishments included in the kit!  You receive a full pack of ephemera from Fancy Free as well as Citrus Twist exclusives such as cork pieces and clear stamps! 

I used some of the sequins and cork hearts to embellish the butterfly to add more color! 

For my title, I used one of the Fancy Free Glitter Word Thickers!  I then added my journaling underneath.  

Thanks again for stopping by!  Now onto Brenda's blog!  Have a great day!

Everyday Moments Layout

Hello everyone...hope you have had a nice weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous here in Central Illinois!  We tried to get outside as much as we could. However, I was able to sneak in some time in my  scrap room.

 

Today I am sharing a layout I created for Citrus Twists Kits' Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I really loved the stitching and thought it looked like fun! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here is my layout:  I used Teresa Collins' Memories collection which is one of my favorites from this year's winter release. 

 

 

I stitched the circle with white and gray thread then added pieces of the coordinating circle garland, as well as sequins, decorative brads, and buttons. 

 

My title is cut from the Silhouette in one of the many patterns of Memories.  I also added coordinating washi tape from the line along my photo.

 

As one of the backgrounds to my photo, I cut a Memories file folder to fit my page. I really wanted to use this because I love the color as well as the diagonal stripes! With the Memories Clear Stamp set, I stamped the "always and forever" sentiment.

 

Adding one of the cute sentiments from the die cut sheet. I also added a wooden veneer arrow from Studio Calico.

 

Thanks for stopping by! Are there any websites you look for inspiration?
