CUT to YOU | Precious Moments

Hello Friends, I'm back here today with a new layout share for CUT to YOU. I've jumped back to last months release and chosen a fun cut file called Burst Circles that was just singing out to be used.

I chose to document a photo of Leila from a recent trip to the Zoo. We had so much fun that day, and this little lady just LOVED posing for pictures time and time again. I can say that her 2 front teeth are FINALLY making a breakthrough after almost 8 months of non existence.

To start the layout I worked in Silhouette Studio to resize the entire file so that only 3 of the larger circular designs (lets call them sunburst circles) were the main focus. I played around with different ways to present them on the layout before cutting all the pieces out on white cardstock then cutting each individual circular piece so that I could layer them in different ways across the page.

I've used the newer 'Just a little Lovely' collection from PinkFresh Studio to compliment the burst circles design. I've backed the 'sunbursts' with a blue and white floral pattern paper and adhered them to the layout using foam tape, then layered the full circular bursts under each piece at random. I also adhered the negative circular pieces around the page and sewed through a couple using machine and thread.

I added the photo to the larger of the 3 sunbursts which is also backed with a pattern paper from the collection, layered with a couple of ephemera pieces and adhered to the page using more foam tape.

To the left of the layout on the middle size sunburst I have added an ephemera piece, fussy cut florals and a title. I've created smaller clusters diagonally across the page from each other using embellishments to compliment the cut file design.

Once the layout was complete I've splattered gold colour shine, added a few enamel dots and a date stamp.

Well folks thats all from me today. Before I go heres a few friendly reminders....

Scrapping with the 'Stars'

Hello again Fellow crafters

Happy Weekend!! I hope you are enjoying it with some crafty time!

Today I have another 2 very special layouts to share with you using this months Scrappy Canary Playful Scrapbook kit

Last month I was super excited to catch up with 2 Scrapbooking 'Stars' Amy Tan & Heidi Swapp. 

I thought it would be fun to document something different than the usual Leila photos

I will let the photos do the talking as theres a few of them. 

First up is "Hello Amy"

I cut out some of the phrase's that worked best with this layout from one of Amy's papers within the kit

Mini banner made from the washi tape strips

And next "Hangin' with Heidi & Raquel"

I really wanted to use this paper in its entirety rather than chopping it up

I do love a mixed alpha title! This one made using the thickers from the kit, some older Heidi Swapp color shine alphas, October afternoon Mini Market stickers and a & from the Pinkfresh Studio die cut pack.

Thanks for stopping by

I Heart This - Pink Fresh Studio

Hi everyone!!
Today I thought I would drop in and share a layout I made last weekend using the new Pink Fresh Up in the Clouds collection. Its just been re-stocked in the Scrappy Canary store, so get in quick before it sells out!

This range is perfect for documenting Leila's new Fairy dress. (Its taken a couple of months to finally get her to try it on, and now its all she wants to wear) Perfectly girly in every way! Lots of bright colours and cute patterns to layer

Please excuse the poor quality of the photo. My laptop is not playing nicely right at the moment and is not recognising any edits I make to photos within the editing software I use :(


I've layered pieces from the wood tags, ephemera and puffy stickers set, along with some circles I punched from one of the papers. The 'don't quit your day dream' quote is from the Gold rub ons pack.

A close up showing how Ive tucked in the frame from the ephemera pack behind the photo mat, then sewed them both to the page..

And lastly, a close up of the banner cluster and gold leaf rub ons..

I had so much fun creating with this range, and I look forward to sharing more creations made with it soon. If you want to snap any of the collection up before it disappears, feel free to use the following discount code upon check out in the Scrappy Canary Store :)

Thanks for stopping by
Happy Scrapping
