Hey there friends! I’m back with a layout for Pretty Little Studio using the XOXO Collection by Hello Heather.

12x12 scrapbook layout using the Pretty Little Studio XOXO Collection & the Little Letters Cut File from The Cut Shoppe.

The inspiration for my layout came from this 3×4 card from the Love This Journaling Card Pack. I loved the title work on the journaling card and wanted to repeat that on my layout!

To mimic the journaling card, I used the Little Letters Cut File from The Cut Shoppe and backed the “I” & “U” with a patterned paper from the 4×6 Paper Pack. I also cut a heart, using my Cricut, to use in place of the “O” using the same 4×6 patterned paper. I added a splash of color using Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio & Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks to the white cardstock background before I adhered the cut file.

I then moved onto my photo layers. I trimmed down one of the 4×6 teal patterned papers and also used vellum from my stash to back the photo. I used a couple floral clusters from the Blooming Love Die Cut Pack, a maroon label from the Always Labels Cut Apart, and a couple tabs from the Love You Die Cuts Pack to embellish the photo. This photo was taken on Valentine’s Day at my kiddo’s school. I was using an Instagram filter that had lip prints on the screen so Aidan was making a kissy face to the camera to go along with the lips, but I happened to snap the photo when there were not any lip prints showing. I thought the photo was just too cute! It was the perfect Valentine’s photo!!

I needed to balance the design, so I created a cluster to the bottom left of the cut file. I used the same color scheme as my photo cluster. I used 2 small florals from the Blooming Love Die Cut Pack, a couple tiny phrase stickers from the Teal Romantic Words Sticker Sheet, and a few die cuts from the Love You Die Cuts Pack, and a circle from the Darling Journaling Die Cut Pack.

The colors in this collection are just so dreamy and I absolute love working with them!!

Home is with Mom | The Cut Shoppe

Hello friends! I have a new layout to share with you today using the Wreathed in Love Cut File from The Cut Shoppe. The layout originally went up on the Blog on Mother’s Day so I thought it was fitting to create a layout all about my mom!

I started in Cricut Design Space by slicing apart the bottom portion of the cut file. I duplicated the images, flipped them vertically and then welded the images together to create a frame. [I have a step by step tutorial in my YouTube Process Video at the bottom of this post.]

I cut the cut file on a patterned paper from the Pink Paislee Paige Evans Pick Me Up 12×12 Paper Pad. I originally thought that I was going to use Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink behind the cut file, but it wasn’t really the look I was going for. So I grabbed the ombre Patterned Paper #23 to use as the background which has a very similar color to the Seedless Preserves Ink.

I fussy cut multiple flowers from the Pick Me Up Patterned Paper #2 to add around the photo. I also backed my photo with a navy blue color cardstock and tucked in a pattern from the Pick Me Up 6×6 Paper Pad for extra layers. For added embellishment I placed a couple butterfly Cardstock Stickers and Die Cuts around the photo. My title comes from a mixture of the Large Thickers and small White Foam Thickers from the Pick Me Up Collection.

While I know that Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for many, I hope that you all had a day filled with peace and love!
