..:: welcome fall ::..

Hi friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe blog today! This is my last layout for this term, but I won't be leaving! I just gotta tell you that I am super excited that I get to stick with The Cut Shoppe for another term! Here is today's layout:

For this layout I used two of the leaves from the new Finally Fall cut file. I just love this file and I know I will use other parts of it soon (in fact I have already cut some of the other parts)!

I cut the file using a woodgrain patterned paper. Then I backed the file with some papers from my stash. I actually used a mix of older Jen Hatfield collections. And, yes, I did back a fall leaf with lemon paper! Here are a few close ups!

For a few finishing touches, I added some tangled, metallic thread and a few wood veneer leaves from Color Cast Designs.

 I made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon! XO o.g.

Hi friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe Blog today with this layout of my daughter. Here's my layout:

I am using the August Hip Kit Club kit full of Amy Tangerine and Maggie Holmes and this awesome free cut file from The Cut Shoppe (available here).

 My goal with this one was to make it super feminine, because she is being so NOT feminine, as well as silly. This cut file and these papers worked together nicely to accomplish that, I think.  Here are a few close ups:

I absolutely loved making this layout! It came together so quickly! I made a video of my process if that suits your fancy!

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you again soon!

Hi friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with this layout I made using Shimmerz Paints, Hip Kit Club kit full of Maggie Holmes and Amy Tangerine, and flair from my favorite flair shop {a flair for buttons}!  Here's what I came up with:

I started by creating my background using mostly the packaging technique and some Shimmerz Paints.  I used Coloringz Oh Say Can U See, and two Creameez, Dandy-Lion and Great Fruit. They were perfect matches with both the Maggie Holmes and Amy Tan collections found in the Hip Kit this month. 

This camera from the Summer Vibes Flair set was perfect for this collection and photos.

This black flair is from the Primary Arrows 1 Flair set. 

And finally, I added this hashtag from the Hashtag Summer Flair Set. Here is a look at the journaling:

I made a video of my process if that suits your fancy!
