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!

Paper Camellia: Dream Big

Today I'm sharing a layout I created using Paper Camellia's Main Kit for August!  What fun colors are included in this kit!  My cute nephew is the star of my page; we visited a local splash pad/playground this summer and he's always so photogenic!  

 I used the Puffy Stickers from Pinkfresh Studio's Happy Things collection as well as a portion of one of the tags from Fancy Pants Designs.  Also you can spy one of the Exclusive Paper Camellia Gold Glitter Hearts!

The Main Kit includes five assorted frames from Crate Paper's Poolside collection. Here, I used one of the gold accent frames with another Puffy Sticker. You also receive a sheet of the Wooden Veneer Stickers from Pinkfresh Studios. I used my gelatos to color a few of the pieces!

Showing another Crate Paper Frame as well as a cute tag from Pinkfresh!

My Scraps and More: Beautiful

Today on the My Scraps and More forums, I have a challenge up for Word Up Wednesday! My challenge is to use the word "beautiful" on your page!  I used the new Pinkfresh Studio's

Up in the Clouds that I purchased in the MSAM shop!

 

 

 

 

I used one of the wood strips under my photo with some bakers twine from Whisker Graphics. 

 

 

Love these American Craft gold glitter Thickers! I had these in my stash and thought the gold would go nicely with the pinks and blues!

 

I used some Heidi Swapp Color Shine on this beautiful cut file from The Cut Shoppe!  I then added in wood beads and enamel hearts from Up in the Clouds. And I'm loving the ombre air mail print washi tape!! There are three different colors...I ordered the red and blue.

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Check out this collection and MUCH more in the My Scraps and More Shop!  Have a great day!
