Guest Designing for The Cut Shoppe

I am so excited to share this post with you. I was so thrilled when I was contacted by Ashley Horton asking if I would be the Guest Designer for May for The Cut Shoppe. Needless to say, I was jumping up and down with excitement! You know how much I love using cut files and The Cut Shoppe is my favorite resource for fun, cute, fresh designs.

Ashley is just a sweetheart and she is quite the scrapbooker in her own right! I drool over her layouts and love watching her create on her You Tube channel.  But.... this is about The Cut Shoppe! If you haven't checked out her designs, you must!  You can check out the guest design post on their blog here.

Here are the two files I used on my layout. The first one is a background file called Spin Cycle. I enlarged it for my layout and only used a portion of it.

I also used the Spring Fever set for my title.

Here's my layout.......

You can see here how I enlarge the background cut file so that it would fit photos in the circles.  I cut it on white cardstock, then recolored using gelatos. I wanted it to be a bright colorful layout and I think I achieved that! 

I added some colorful embellishments....

And here is the title using a cut file from the Spring Fever set. 

I just want to thank Ashley for the opportunity to guest design this month. I had a blast! Head over to The Cut Shoppe to see all the new designs she has available!

I do have a process video for this layout if you'd like to see more of how this layout was created.

Thanks so much!
