Hi Friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe Blog today with this layout using a couple of cut files from the Etsy Store.

For this layout I used some navy blue card stock to cut the Pumpkin Carving cut file. Then I backed it with patterned papers. Here's a look at the cut file.

For the title I used a font on my computer to cut "pumpkin" and then the Super Star Alpha from The Cut Shoppe for the word BRAINS.

Here are a few close ups of the cut files!

I was super excited when I found the perfect piece of flair from A Flair For Buttons. Doesn't this match her shirt perfectly?

I used mostly the Goosebumps collection designed by Ashley Horton for Pretty Little Studio. But I also used a few items from Paige Taylor Evan's Take Me Away Collection (for those pops of purple).

I had a fun time creating this layout. I also made a video of my process if that suits your fancy!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I'll see you again soon!

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!
