Top Ten Blog Hop Winner

Hello and Happy 2017!  I apologize that I'm announcing my blog hop winner so late!  I unexpectantly  spent last weekend in the hospital. Not the way I wanted to spend New Years but things happen! We were supposed to travel to Louisville for a wedding but ended up in our pajamas at 5pm. My hubby made pancakes for dinner and we watched a few episodes of Parenthood on Netflix (our current binge). 

The winner of the Scrapbook.com Gift Certificate is Janet Zeppa!  Janet, I emailed you but in case you didn't receive it please email me at jhaggerty72@frontier.com

Congrats!  

I'm currently working on CHA projects but will be back to blogging asap.  :)

Have a great night!

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!

10.  My Scraps and More: Capture This Moment:  Layout created with Basic Grey's Typeset (which is fabulous) I was inspired to scrap a favorite, yet sad moment by a fellow MSAM member!  

9.  My Scraps and More: Darling:    Cute photo of my daughter at the age of 4 after getting her hair done for my sister's wedding. I love this photo....Hailey looks like me in this picture. Plus, I love Maggie Holmes' Shine collection!! 

8.  Paper Camellia-Wish:  layout created with the  October Main kit using Dear Lizzy's Documentary and My Mind's Eye.  I just love how this layout turned out as well as the photo of my cute niece.

7. Clear Scraps: 2 Cool 4 School:  One of my favorite Simple Stories' collections is So Rad...a great boy collection! And I love the Clear Scraps acrylic borders!  Not to mention, my nephew is adorable!

6. My Scraps and More: Remember:   This is another great collection released this year...Dear Lizzy's Documentary. I created this for a daily challenge at My Scraps and More.

5.  My Scraps and More: Handsome:  Cocoa Vanilla's Made of Awesome is another great boy line!  I used this for a layout for MSAM and a cute star cut file from The Cut Shoppe!  

4. My Scraps and More:  The Best Day Ever:  I chose this layout because of the fun chevron print of this pattern from the Simple Stories Life Documented line. I cut out a portion of the print and used it as my background.  And Simple Stories' rocks.  

3.  My Scraps and More:  Hello Winter:  This collection has great colors and I love how it turned out with the 17Turtles cut file at the bottom!

2.  Paper Camellia: Love:  I picked this layout because of the photo (so cute!!) and the paper (Crate Paper's Kiss Kiss).  I just love the banner and little embellishments. I used the PC February Main Kit for this page.

1.  Paper Camellia: Currently:  Another one of my favorite Simple Stories collections is I Am; beautiful colors and I love that you are encouraged to scrap about yourself.  I created this page with the PC March Main Kit.  

I'm doing a prize pack giveaway in addition to the gift certificate!
