#ForeverTogether | Shannon Morgan

Good morning! Shannon here, sharing a layout about the beautiful girls pictured below. They are amazing, hilarious and can often be found together. I used a few files for this layout: The Rough Waters, The Friends Forever & Boho Chic files.

Did you know that you can use part of a file? I did that with the Boho Chic file. Here's a close up of as always, so you can see these awesome files:

Thanks for letting me share with you! Have a great day!

Summer by Caroli Schulz

Hello peeps!  Caroli here, sharing a new layout I made using fabulous cut files by The Cut Shoppe. In this layout I used The Rough Waters cut file as background. and for my title I used part of The Vacay Mode cut file. 

For this layout I used Sweet Summer collection by Doodlebug Design, I love how colorful and happy it is!

I created few embellishment clusters using few diecuts, I love the effect.

Since all the page is so full of color and patterned paper, I cut my tittle in white yardstick to make it stand out.

I love the summery and relaxed feel of this layout, it documents happy memories of our summer vacations from last year. Hope you like this idea and got inspired to work with these gorgeous cut files. 

Thank you for joining me today, have a lovely day!

Wild & Free by Jill

Oh my goodness, I love scrapping summer pics of my girly... this is my second summer photo layout for July, this one features the new Rough Waters 8.5x11 file from The Cut Shoppe Etsy store.

I enlarged the 8.5x11 file just a bit, then adhered it to my layout background.  The photo shows my Q playing in the sprinkler, and I wanted a fun water-outside-whimsical feel to my page, so I fussy cut some clouds from a patterned paper and added a few with foam adhesive.

The photo is layered on several photo frames, then I placed another on top of the photo to frame my cute girl.  I layered another cloud over the photo, then added a chipboard title.

I added some sentiment stickers around the title, then created another little cluster towards the bottom of the page with stickers and die cuts.

There are a few silver thread tangles, but they didn't show up so great in the photos.  I wanted a bit more whimsy and texture on the page, and thread "nests" are a perfect addition.

How's your summer scrapping coming along?  Don't worry if you're behind, this photo is from last summer, haha! 

Summer Sun & Fun | Donna Espiritu

Hello TCS friends! Donna here and today I'm going to share a fun summer layout using the Rough Waters cut file.

I used just half instead of the whole 12x12 cut file. I cut it with my Silhouette Cameo machine using a bluish patterned paper to mimic waves. I also backed some of the spaces with a patterned paper with darker or contrasting color then mounted with foam tape.

The flamingo and "sun & fun" part of the title were from the Free Printable you can download from the TCS SCrap Spot Facebook Group.

The colors in the Clique Kits "Horizon" kit and the free printables are perfect together.

I splattered some teal, yellow and coral paint mists to add texture and mounted most of the embellishments with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

I hope my project inspired you to create something today.

Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting!

New Cut Files | Pool Boy

Are you ready for some awesome new Cut Files!  We've got some great designs in the shop today!  Most of the time, I like to work with one cut file or set, when I'm doing a layout for the reveal day, but for today's layout I combined two sets!  I worked with Rough Waters and Vacay Mode.  It's fun to layer smaller cut files over a background cut file, and that's just what I did on this layout!

I used the Crate Paper Oasis collection for this layout, but chose my background paper from the Chasing Dreams collection.  I wanted a patterned paper for the background, but I wanted it to be subtle, since I was planning to layer the Rough Waters cut file over it.  I cut the 12x12 Rough Waters design from a teal paper in the Oasis collection, and then adhered it in a few spots with some liquid adhesive to my background paper.  Then I machine stitched along a few of the wave lines to make sure the cut file was secure on my layout.

I also wanted to incorporate the Vacay Mode cut file on this layout, so I thought it would be fun to use the swim trunks to go with the photo of our son at the pool.  I would say about 85% of scrapbook products lean more toward a feminine look, so it's always good to have embellishments that work for masculine pages too.  I cut the swim trunk design from three different papers from the 6x6 paper pad.  Then I embellished each one just a little bit differently, and placed them in a clothesline design on the layout.

Once I had the swim trunks in place, I machine stitched along the top of each one, to reinforce the clothesline effect.  Then I used a mix of Thickers from the Here & There collection and the Oasis collection for my title.  I usually love layering my title over White space in my photos, and the large Thickers worked great over this photo.  To finish the layout, I added a few more embellishments to create a visual triangle.

Make sure you head over to The Cut Shoppe Etsy store today, and see all of the new cut files!  Our designs are perfect for any project, that you're planning to create!!
