Hello friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe Blog with a spread in my Traveler's Notebook using the Love Rules cut file.  Here is a look at my two page spread using mostly Dear Lizzy's latest collection. 

Here is a better look at the cut file!

I cut the file using white card stock and then I backed it with a beautiful green patterned paper. The other side was full of hearts -- that I thought went well with the XOXO pattern of the cut file! I added my journaling to the left side of the spread with a few stickers from the collection. 

The right side houses my title and my photo. This photo is of some books in our living room!  I was dusting and as I was putting the books back, I realized they had a theme, so I took a photo!

I love using the Cut Shoppe cut file for TNs. It helps the project to come together so quickly!  I also made a video of my process!

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

Hi Fiends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe blog with a one file -- two projects post!  Today I am using the Be The Light cut file for two off the page projects. Here are my projects!

Here is the Be The Light file?

The word I chose as my "word" this year is Light!  When I saw this cut file I wanted to plaster it on everything!  I settled for two things (so far). I used vinyl to make myself a skin for my computer. I cut out the center of the lightbulb in yellow for extra pop!

I also made a t-shirt that I will wear proudly!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope I have inspired you to look at using cut files not just for paper projects -- but also to take it off the page! XO o.g.

Hi Friends! I am up on The Cut Shoppe Blog today with a layout using the Photo Album cut file. I shrunk down the file so that it wasn't a full page -- and I made my photos about 2x2 inches. Here is a look at my layout :

And here is a look at the cut file : 

I backed the cut file with papers from Pretty Little Studio's Document Life Collection. I love these bright colors!  I popped up each of the photos with some craft photo to add dimension.

I added some banners to just about every photo. These banners are from a cut apart from the Bohemian Dreams collection also by Pretty Little Studio. 

I used a hexagon punch to embellish to my layout. I made three clusters with these, using all the colors!  I added tangled thread through out for texture and more pops of color!

I printed my journaling on photo paper and cut it into strips! I also made a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

This was a fun one to put together! I hope you are inspired to create with this cut file. Thanks for stopping by! XO o.g.
