Enjoy The Moment

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a layout that I created with some cut files from Just Nick Digital Cut Files.  Yesterday was National Sibling Day and I thought of my older kiddos and how Brandon and Shannon have always been very close.

For my bold, black title, I cut out the Enjoy The Moment cut file five times on black card stock with my Silhouette Cameo, stacked them and glued them together.

 With my well used 1 1/2 inch circle paper punch, I punched out several circles of various patterned papers. I love circles! This particular technique was inspired by a class that Nicole Nowosad taught at Crop & Create Calgary, which I was fortunate to attend and had the privilege to assist in her classes. It's always great to meet online friends in person!

I also used the File Folders cut file to create a tab for the top left hand corner of the page and also one behind the large felt flower. These are also from the Just Nick shop.  

This is the dimension I was mentioning on the title earlier.  

I had fun creating this layout. It was good to use up some scraps of old papers from the Amy Tangerine Rise And Shine Collection, my cute pink We R Typecast Typewriter to add the typed journaling and whenever I can, I like to add a flair button or two to my layouts from A Flair For Buttons.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Be You

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a layout at Just Nick Digital Cut Files using the Floral Burst Background.  

I cut out the Floral Burst Background on white cardstock with my electronic die cutting machine. I then copied and pasted the petals on another screen and cut them with my electronic die cutting machine in different colors of patterned paper.  Next I placed the petals over a pink piece of patterned paper and trimmed around the edge leaving about 1/4 inch border.  

I used a paper piercer and pierced holes about 1/8 inches apart around the petals and then using six strands of pink embroidery floss, I hand stitched around the edges of the petals.  

After all the stitching was completed, I added some die cuts, stickers, pearls, a flair button from A Flair For Buttons and splattered some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Blush.

Here is the cut file I used on my layout.

I love the homespun feel of the hand stitching.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Right Here Right Now

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a layout I created for the JustNick Studio and Scrapbook Circle Team Up that is happening all this week.

I was given the fabulous March Kit from Scrapbook Circle that has some items from the Shimelle Little By Little, Amy Tangerine's On A Whim, Paige Evans Oh My Heart, Pretty Little Studio Summer Vibes, Fancy Pants Design's Joy Parade Collections. Here is what I created...

I knew when I saw that bright, colorful paper from Shimelle's Little By Little Collection that I had to combine it with the Aztec Lace Background Cut File from JustNick.

For the title I cut the Right Here Right Now Cut File with my Cameo and then took a pair of scissors and separated the words to split up the title.

The fun part of the process was embellishing the background.  I used the puffy stickers and dots from the kit and added them to the triangles on the background.

I also added some stickers to all four corners of the layout 

I knew I wanted to use the Paige Evan's Oh My Heart stamps in some way so I stamped the word "today" on a sticker and then added some mini alpha stickers for the year.  

I hope you enjoyed my layout.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Love You

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a baby layout of my youngest son on the Just Nick blog.

Since February is the month of love, I wanted to use some love themed cut files so I used the Love You cut file and also the Lace Heart cut file from Just Nick Digital Cut Files.

I love the softness of vellum on a layout and I also love to use sequins so I combined both and added some vellum and sequins to some of the circles.  I also added some flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons and enamel dots from Bella Blvd.

Owls are some of my favorite so I thought these puffy stickers from Paper House Productions would add some cuteness and fun to the layout.  

I cut the title "Love You" on some black heart patterned paper.  I also backed some of the circles from colored patterned paper from Echo Park.  

Stitching adds more texture so I added some machine stitching.  Finally I journaled on some vellum using my Typecast typewriter.

Creating a baby layout brings back so many good memories.  My son is now 17 and will be graduating from high school this year.  

I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Have a great day!

Love, Love, Love

Hello friends! February is the month of love and so today I am sharing a love themed layout for Just Nick Digital Cut Files.

I chose two cut files for this layout of my hubby and I.  I love the Ying Yang Background and I thought it fit perfectly for this layout.  Basically there isn't balance if there isn't one without the other and I thought it depicted being together.  It was time consuming to create this layout. First I cut out the background on white cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo and then I backed all shapes with patterned paper.

The title is created from the Lots Of Love cut file and I selected three different love words, cut them out on white cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder.

I love the softness that vellum gives the layout so I typed my journaling on vellum and attached the vellum strips with some machine stitching.

Finally I added some flair buttons that I had in my stash from A Flair For Buttons. 

I really loved creating this layout of my best friend and I.  Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy your day!
