I chose the This is Magic cut file.


The words can be put together in so many cute ways.  I chose to use the words "hello happy"  for my layout.  They perfectly explained how my daughter felt when she received this gift.

I used Dear Lizzy Serendipity papers and embellishments for my layout.  They matched her Footie Pajamas perfectly! Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to stop by the 17turtles website and each of the posts this week here for your chance to win prizes!

I am so excited to share my layout with you! I loved working with the Pie Chart Love cut file and it was so easy to use!



Here is what I came up with using the Pie Chart Love cut file along with Dear Lizzy Serendipity line:

 
I also used a card from Crate Papers Notes & Things for one of the layers behind my photo and a few of the gold embellies from Pink Paislee Solstice:

 
I added some turquoise water color to parts of the cut file:


 
I also added bits of washi tape here and there:

 
I love the soft colors in these paper lines and paired them with a black and white photo of my son to really make the photo "pop".
Make sure to leave on comment here and on the 17Turtles Blog for your chance to win this week!

Captured with 17 Turtles.

Hello and good  morning....

This week on the My Scraps & More Blog, the design team has collborated with 17Turtles to showcase some projects using some awesome cut files!

For my project I actually used the Slice of Life cut file:

Since I don't have a Cameo-- ( I know.. I totally need one) I got together with Lisa S, from our DT here, and worked together cutting out my files. I scrapped this photo of our three kids, back from our December family photo shoot.


I used Crate's Kiss Kiss collection on this layout. I filled in the cut section with several papers from the collection and mixed them up through out the cut image:


I also layered my embellies underneath the photo and added a large gold title:

17Turtles and My Scraps collaboration week!

I am so so excited about what will be happening here on the My Scraps & More blog this week!

We have teamed up with 17turtles, owned by Juliana Michaels, and our team will be sharing their projects all week!
 
17turtles offers a wide range of digital cut files that are perfect for paper crafting, scrapbooking and other craft projects such as cards, home decor, wall art, and more. When you purchase a digital download from 17turtles you will receive a zipped file that includes 1 SVG, 1 PNG and 1 DXF file. These files are for use with a wide variety of electronic cutting machines that will open and cut digital files. You can use 17turtles cut files with both the Silhouette Studio Software and the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Software. You do not have to use the Trace feature because the cut lines are already there for you. You will find a versatile mix of designs including multiple layered images, single layer images, backgrounds, pocket cards, tags, borders, titles and more. Visit the 17turtles Etsy Shop for all of your digital cut files needs at www.etsy.com/shop/17turtles.


Juliana Michaels, the artist behind 17turtles, has had a love affair with creating and designing for years. When she first discovered scrapbooking over 15 years ago, it gave her a way to combine her two loves to form a creative outlet that brings her so much joy and happiness. This past year, she began creating her own digital cut files to use with her Silhouette Cameo on her scrapbook pages and other craft projects. She has now opened 17turtles as a way to share her digital design creations with others. For more ideas, inspiration and tutorials about using her cut files, you can visit her blog at www.17turtles.com.



How would you like to win a $20 gift certificate to the 17 Turtles store? All you have to do is visit the store and let us know what your favorite cut file is in the comments on this post.

Every day this week, a My Scraps & More Design team will be showcasing one of the cut files from the 17turtles store on their project. Don't forget that each day when you comment on a My Scraps & More blog post, you are entered to win a $10 gift certificate to the My Scraps & More store. One winner is drawn each Monday, so be sure to leave some love for the Design Team this week on their projects they created with the cut files.

This week, you can save 25% off your 17turtles purchase with code MYSCRAPS25 in the 17turtles store.

Here's where you can find 17turtles:


I chose to use the Floral Bouquet cut file from the 17turtles store:



I loved the bold, open lines of this design and thought it would be great with some bright, spring-y colors, so I used some Pinkfresh Studio "Up in the Clouds" papers from the My Scraps store.






Because the papers were so brights, I decided to cut my flowers from white cardstock and do a bit of a white on white design.  When doing white on white, its a good idea to not glue your pieces down entirely flat, so that you can leave a bit of a shadow to make the design stand out better. 




 It's also a good idea to have some of the white pieces overlapping colored papers, too, to see the designs better.



I used every single piece from the cut file, placing all the little leaves here and there.  Then I layered a lot of the foil die cuts from the collection around the page.




Hope you enjoy all the pages using the 17turtles cut files this week!  Let us know what your favorite is!

Stay scrappy my friends!

Good morning friends! I hope everyone had a sweet filled day yesterday. I love seeing all of the sweet, love inspired scrappy projects on the internet this time of year, but personally I am not a huge fan of using generic Valentine product. The pinks and reds are not a look I gravitate towards. With this in mind, but still wishing to create a great love inspired layout, I created this layout to memorialize some of the most influential women in my lifespan so far.
 I started this layout with the vision to piece together my background with a few awesome papers that caught my eye in the store! I have always been a fan of Studio Calico Product and just loved the fun tones in these Brighton Pier papers HERE and HERE. I also instantly LOVED this green flowered paper from Pebbles, it has such a fun color and look! And of course I had to use up a grid paper to complete the look.
I splayed my photos and journaling and worked my embellishments from the inside/out. I jut knew I had to use that awesome burlap bow by Fancy Pants on my page. I have been eyeing it for awhile now and thought it may be too bulky for my taste, but it is far too awesome in person!
Of course I had to add in all my floating elements, and naturally chose some floating hearts to make it a bit more festive for the holiday time!
 
I hope this layout encourages you to create seasonal layouts a bit outside the box! There are so many great products to use up still in shop before more new awesome lines come in this coming week! The papers I selected were already an amazing price, but you cannot beat adding another 20% off with this months code LOVETHIS20 !Thank you so much for peeking in, and I hope you all stay warm in this crazy weather!

Cherish

Happy Valentine's Day!  It's Jennifer and I'm sharing a layout I created with Crate Paper's Kiss Kiss from the My Scraps and More shop!  I love the beautiful colors of this collection which are perfect for your Valentine's Day pictures!  I used photos from my daughter's class party two years ago.
 

 
Gold goes with everything! I used some American Craft Thickers from my stash for my title.  
 
 
 I added some of the Kiss Kiss Accent Stickers to a journaling card. I love the little globe!

 
I also used a cute cut file from The Cut Shoppe with some of the patterned papers.  I love the dark brown of Constellation which gives a great contrast to the lighter colors!
 
More of the cute accent stickers!   
 
Hope this inspires you to do some Valentine crafting today!  Be sure to check into this collection and lots more at the MSAM shop! Have a great day!
