Oh Happy Day

Hey friends!  I'm back with you today sharing a design team layout in my traveler's notebook that I created for The Cut Shoppe.  You can see my TCS blog post here.

I wanted to join in on the Go Big or Go Home Challenge on The Cut Shoppe Scrap Spot Facebook Group for the month of August, and you can read more about it here.  

I used two cut files from The Cut Shoppe on my spread- the Go with the Flow cut file (August's FREEBIE FRIYAY cut file) and the Flower Arrangement cut file.

I mainly used papers and embellishments from the Pinkfresh Studio Simple & Sweet collection to complete this spread about my sister's baby shower.  It was such a fun day celebrating the future arrival of my first niece!

I cut out the Go with the Flow cut file using white cardstock and backed it with vellum.  I layered some textured paper behind my photo, along with a floral ephemera piece.  I cut out a few flowers from the Flower Arrangement cut file, also using white cardstock.  This cut file is my favorite for layering behind my photos!

  

Next, I added some machine stitching in several spots for added texture.  It was fun using my sewing machine again.  Now that I have set up my new craft room, I have easier access to my sewing machine and will be using it on my layouts again.  

I stamped my title using a Felicity Jane alpha set and finished it off with some Pinkfresh Studio puffy letter stickers.  For the final finishing touches, I layered on a few more ephemera pieces and puffy stickers.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my latest layout!
