follow your dreams {Cut to You}

Hello scrappy friends! :) This month Cut to You is  sponsoring the May challenge at 'Scrap The Girls' and I played along with the wonderful sketch. 

I used the new Floral Frame 01 cut file as the base (which works perfectly with the sketch) which I backed with patterned paper, and also added some unbacked florals that I cut apart from the Floral Cluster cut file. 

Leaving some of the florals open and adding them randomly underneath and atop the frame feature add dimension and visual interest to the layout. It's a simple, yet effective technique and creates a fun touch of whimsy. 

Finishing touches such as fussy cut accents add a pop of color and pulls everything together. 

To get these cut files and see the wide variety of additonal files available, head on over to the CTY store! 

Synchronized Napping {CUT to YOU}

Hello scrappy friends! I generally shy away from geometric designs, no reason, they just don't speak to me as a whole, but when I saw this fabulous Geo Traingles Background cut file I knew I would have to find a way to use it.

As I was filling in the background, I knew that I wanted it to be bold, yet not distracting from the sweet photo of my pets, so using some large prints as focal points along with mixing smaller prints with lighter colors was key. 

Finishing off with a trio of smple clusters keeps the eye moving and adds some visual interest. 

I hope that you have been inspired by my layout to create! Head over to the store and start creating!

We love to see what you're making so don’t forget to share on the CUT to YOU HQ on facebook!
