CUT to YOU | Life Is Better With Coffee | A Scrapbook Layout

Hello everyone and happy hump day!!

Today's share is for CUT to YOU and brought to you by the "Coffee Love" cut file available in the store!! As usual, the cut file is available as a Custom Cut or a digital cut file!

I have to admit, I do love getting the digital cut because I can cut my designs however big or small I choose and I decided with this page to go GIANT!!

I knew immediately when I cut this design that I had this coffee kit from Funky Flairs Studio in my stash so went ahead and pulled colours that worked with the kit! I haven't really done anything fancy with the cut file, just picked some pretty paper to back it. 

My background was just a few splatters in matching colours to the top left of where the cut file would live on my background and the bottom right.

I added in a few layers behind my photo and also remembered that I had cut the lovely Open Leaf cut file a bunch of times in a bunch of sizes and thought why not?! Haha! Leaves and coffee work, right?! The custom cut can be found here in store!

They don't really have anything to do with anything but if you really wanted to make a connection the photo was taken on a lovely warm spring day....

I decided to colour 3 of the leaves and I again used the same colours and technique on the leaves as I did the background though I added more water to leaves to get the colours to move and mix a bit. I have used brown and gold only on the leaves.

I have made a process video for this page and you can view that quiet easily in the browser simply by pressing the play button!

I do want to put it out there, however, that I am chasing 1000 subbies over on my YT channel (by the of the year hopefully!) so if you haven't yet subscribed, please do so!!

I hope you have enjoyed my process and I will be back again soon with some more shares! In the mean time why don't you head over to the CUT to YOU store and make sure you enter your email address to keep up date with the new releases, trust me, you wanna see December's ;)

Until next time, happy scrapping!

Happy ~ K+ July 2017 Challenge

Hey, hey!! Today I am here sharing with you my take on the July 2017 (holy crap, July, already?!??) Kraft+ Challenge.

This month is all about roses - use roses 3 ways

I didn't think that I had an abundance of roses in my stash but upon looking I was pleasantly surprised and managed to use roses 5 ways!!!

Here is my page! And I'm super happy with how it came together!

This photo was taken 2 years ago, almost to the exact day - 4th July to be precise - and is the ONLY photo I got of myself on the day that I hit my weight loss goal and since I have just celebrated my 2nd anniversary I figured I may as well scrap it!!

My roses 5 ways are as follows:

Stencilling in the background

Ephemera pieces - both the acetate and the little tag

Chipboard

Patterned paper - both the photo mat and the top and bottom of the page

2 flair badges both have roses

This page is rather different to my "norm" but I really do love it and do love the challenge of doing something different every now and then!

Here are a few close ups

Just as a side note, there are quiet a few different pieces here that are from Aussie companies! Of course, Colour Blast for all of the stencilling and splatters, Funky Flair Studio for the flair and the sequins are from Create By Me Studio. I've linked all of them up, just cause sharing is caring so take a look if you get the chance!

That's it for me for today! Until next time, happy scrapping!
