Just Nick/Creative Scrappers Team Up

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a travel layout of my son and daughter in law on their trip to Europe for the Just Nick Digital Cut Files and Creative Scrappers team up.  What a combination! Two of my favorite things are cut files and sketches.  

First I cut out the Chopstick Background from Just Nick with my Silhouette Cameo and used the Sketch #296 from Creative Scrappers.  The papers from the Carta Bella Travel Stories worked perfectly with this cut file.  I like the way the words peeked through.

I also added some stickers from the Travel Stories Collection, some flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons, some paint splatters and finally some enamel dots.

To make the journaling more interesting,  I thought adding some mini alpha stickers along with my handwriting would do the trick.

Here is the Chopsticks Background cut file.

and here is the Creative Scrappers Sketch #296 

You can download the cut file FREE HERE until July 31 just be sure and use the code  CSFREE  at checkout. Also, if you link up the layout that you create with both the cut file and the sketch at Creative Scrappers you have a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from Just Nick.  

Thanks for stopping by and have fun creating!

Featured Layout At Creative Scrappers

 Hello friends! I wanted to wish my American friends a very happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you have a wonderful holiday full of love, family and food.  As I am Canadian, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October.

Today I was very flattered to see that my layout was featured over at Creative Scrappers.  Thank you Becky Springer for choosing my layout.

I was inspired by the  Creative Scrappers Sketch #282 which I turned upside down.

Here is the sketch right side up

I loved the sketch and had to play along.  Have a wonderful day!

The Cut Shoppe And Creative Scrappers Team Up Layout And Sketch

Happy Sunday everyone! Today the design team members from Creative Scrappers and The Cut Shoppe are teaming up and creating with the Creative Scrappers Sketch #276.

It has been a very long time since I have created a baby layout but the photo spoke to me of my eldest son holding my youngest son, his baby brother. They are 15 years apart in age. I had the perfect papers from the Webster's Pages Hello World Collection by Alison Kreft Designs.  I especially love the soft colors, the little onesies, the hot air balloons and the cute foxes in this collection. 

 Here are a few more closeups of my page

Creative Scrappers  has provided the Sketch #276

For the digital cut files, I used the Captured On Camera Cut Files for the word "click" and "smile" from The Cut Shoppe.

and some Love Notes Printables from The Cut Shoppe

Also, if you link up at Creative Scrappers from now until the end of August  using Sketch #276, there is a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from The Cut Shoppe.  How cool is that?  Lots of cut files to choose from.

The cut files and print and cut files are available in The Cut Shoppe Etsy Store and also many more designs so come and check them out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day! Hugs and smiles!
