..:: i love you this much ::..

Hi friends, I am up on The Cut Shoppe blog today with this layout in my traveler's notebook.  I am using the This Much cut file and the June Clique Kit-- here's a look at the layout!

And here is a closer look at the cut file!

This spread was all about how much I love the ocean -- the sounds, the smells, and how it allows me to exhale deeply and relax!  

I love the mix of papers from Pinkfresh Studio, Heidi Swapp, and One Canoe Two in this kit! They have the perfect mix of pinks and yellows!

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

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again soon! XO o.g.

Hi friends!!  I am up on The Cut Shoppe blog as well as the {A Flair for Buttons} blog with this layout using the Swirly & Twirly cut file and several pieces of flair. I grabbed a bunch of different Pinkfresh Studio collections (Out and About, Everyday Musings, and Joyful Day) and mixed and matched and came up with a rainbow of color!

Here is what the Swirly & Twirly cut file looks like in the shop. 

I cut it first using white card stock.  Then, in the Silhouette software, I deleted all of the middle parts, and cut the outer part of the file using the rainbow paper from Out and About. This made it super easy to back the file!

The cut file inspired me to find all the circles and add them to my layout!  I used a few different sizes of circle punches, as well as circle embellishments to add clusters of circles throughout the page. 

I popped up some of the circles with craft foam, and I also added some flair from {a flair for buttons} in each of the clusters.  This helped add some fun textures and dimension. This rainbow flair was PERFECT -- it's in the Tropical Vacation 2 flair set. Here are a few more close ups. 

More circles, more flair! This one is from the Butterflies Flair Set.

This last piece of flair is from the Watercolors Flair set. I also made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you again soon! XO o.g.
