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!

"Live Your Dream"
Sigh! Totally swoon worthy!
A beautiful collection to scrapbook my darling ballerina with!
Despite all the bold and bright fuchsia pinks & oranges, I was instantly drawn to those dreamy blues and indigo! I couldn't resist a monochromatic layout to showcase these pretty papers!
I have a lots of gorgeous pictures and a bonus layout below,

Here's some more dreamy close ups for you ......
Those chipboard hearts & wood epoxy buttons are really something!!!
Who would've thought that chipboard stickers could be so elegant?!!
SO dreamy!
The puffy alphabet stickers connect the black from the base pattern paper, and unify my design.

Such a young, fresh & feminine page of my daughter & niece!
I just adore all those pretty pattern paper layers & colors! Gorgeous!
With such a fabulous sketch, I really didn't want to alter it.
I mean, seriously, that design rocks! So my layout follows it fairly closely.
I especially loved the shipping tag feature, & just had to use the 4" x 8" cream tag that was included in the Love Stories Kit!
Here's a closer look at my layout....
I switched the messy thread in the sketch for the hearts, butterfly & acetate die cut. The larger hearts are fussy cut from one of the Crate Paper La La Love papers. That bright blue one coordinates perfectly with the puffy sticker heart & die cut butterfly, and really pops against the soft colors.
And need I mention how amazing the acetate die cuts are in this month's Love Stories Kit?! Love!!!!!!
Here's a look at another acetate shape on my layout.......
Beautiful!
I use the crisp white Heidi Swapp Thickers from the Scrapbooking Add On Kit for my layout title, and embellish this cluster with more of those pretty ephemera butterflies, and puffy sticker hearts.
Oh.so.pretty!!!
For my Life Crafted Album page, I rotate the sketch 90 degrees so it will better suit my narrow 5" x 8" layout....
I've used a similar color scheme, but this time I opted for warm red accents instead of mint green. I used one of the February Subscriber Printables in place of my layout title, & positioned my title where the journaling may have featured.
Those exclusive gold puffy alphabet are simply stunning!
I have backed the cut file with the Specialty Red Glitter Hearts Cardstock.
Love those tiny sparkly hearts! Super effective!
I foam mount the Cross My Heart file to the white cardstock base, creating both gentle dimension & interest. I then embellish the cut file hearts with a few Puffy Stickers from the Main Squeeze collection - aren't those rainbow ones just adorable?!!
My photo cluster and titles are layered over the mounted cut file, & I embellish the layout with a few more hearts. Perfect!
So simple, SO SWEET!
Happy Valentine's Day, friends!
Thanks so much for stopping by today,
til next time,
I couldn't wait to use all the pretty pinks, reds & hearts for LOVE day cards....
Sigh! Aren't they the sweetest cards?!
I just love how versatile the Elle's Studio Kits are - perfect for all types of crafting!
Each card is created with a 3 x 4 journal card from the February Kit, and is then layered with two sheets of pattern papers from the All My Heart 6 x 6 Paper Stack. They're all mounted onto white card bases, and adorned with a few of my fave Elle's Studio embellishments!
A really simple design to replicate, but oh so effective!
Here's a closer look at each one....
Gosh, these pretty colors have my heart! So elegant!
