The Cut Shoppe: Tic Tac XO - I Like You Lots!

Hi Happy Arty Days Friends!

Welcome back for more digital cut file inspiration with my latest creation for The Cut Shoppe! 

Today I am sharing more of the love theme for February!

What can I say, I love all the heart day things!

Here's my layout of my two darlings being very sweet together,

"I Like You Lots"

Nawww! SO adorable!

I have featured the awesome Tic Tac XO cut file & combined it with the Crate Paper: Main Squeeze and La la Love lines. Super sweet!

That Tic Tac XO digital cut file is all kinds of awesomeness!

Here's a closer look at it...

Such a fun design - LOVE!!!

Grab the Tic Tac XO cut file from The Cut Shoppe HERE.

I've cut it with Main Squeeze pattern paper, Spark, and machine stitched the grid lines onto the white cardstock base.

I just adore the tiny hearts pattern paper! Perfect for this larger designed background cut file!

I 'fill' the empty squares of the design with chipboard & ephemera pieces,

and layer my photo onto the heart center.

Lots of pretty heart embellishments adorn my central photo! You'll spy chipboard, glitter, stickers, die cut ephemera and even puffy sticker hearts embellishing this cluster. Love it! 

SO super adorable! 

Those smiley heart faces are perfect for my happy two, & are just the cutest! 

I like you lots, indeed! 

Such a darling layout for my two cherubs! 

I hope you liked my layout, & feel inspired to use the Tic Tac XO cut file in your love theme projects!

Thanks so much for visiting, 

til next time, 

Happy Arty Days,

Paper Issues: March Scraplift Sunday Wk2

Hi Creative Friends!

Hooray for Sunday! Happy Days!
And at Paper Issues, Sundays are for scraplifting!

Today we're lifting this incredible design from the talented Rachel O'Neal....

Isn't this fun!!! All the circles make for a great lift!!!

Here's what I came up with....

"YES"

Isn't this sweet?!!
Just me and Mr A for Awesome hanging out in the city and having fun! Love it!

I have used the gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio: Let Your Heart Decide collection, and I am just loving the pretty colors in this line!!!
I have used pattern paper Impulse for my base, and then layered it with an 11 x 11" white cardstock. My photo takes center stage, and has been backed with a super cute Stitched Frame, reverse side of pattern paper Whim & a doily from my stash!
There are a LOT of cool circle embellishments in this line which I combined with some punched pattern papers from the 6 x 6 Paper Pad to recreate that fun background!
Here's a closer look for you....

As always, the Pinkfresh sentiments are spot on! 

It's almost as if Kinnari (owner and creator of Pinkfresh Studio) lives inside my head at times! 

Good heart and happy vibes for the win!

And how awesome is that Wood Veneer Sticker title? Yes! La la LOVE it! 

Aren't those Die Cuts just divine?!!

Such a fun and fresh collection! 

So cute! 

Let Your Heart Decide is just perfect for documenting the everyday stories!

And there you have it!

Welcome back for more Paper Issues awesomeness with Round 1 of

I love all the Issues, but this really does have my heart

It's called...

Home is Where the Heart Is!

(favorite room, neighborhood, new home, renovations, favorite spot in your town/state)

Use heart embellishments

Here's what I created for it.....

"Hello Love"

Oh isn't this divine?!!
That photo just melts me!
Beautiful memories, indeed!

And what a soft and delicate page!
I have used Simple Stories Beautiful collection, and I think that sums it perfectly!
From the soft pastel pink to the barely there minty green, this line is just prettiness overload!
And just look at those black, and white florals! All the heart eyes!

Here's a closer view.....

So, so preeeeetty!!!

Loving the warmth of the gold foil accents, creating balance to this very cool palette!

And speaking of palette, I've created that sweet mixed media background with my favourite Shimmerz Paints!

It's prettiness overload!
