Jillibean Soup | You Are My Sunshine

April is flying by and before it gets totally away from me, I wanted to share one of the recent layout I created for Jillibean Soup using their new Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup collection.  As soon as I saw the die cut that I used for my title - You Are My Sunshine - I knew I wanted to scrap this photo of Danny. His silly and goofy sense of humor is one of the things I love so very much about him and it brings so much sunshine to my life!

The title piece of course, called for me to continue the "sunshine" theme and to do this I created a sunshine for the background. I cut "rays" from two of the papers from the  Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup collection and then stitched them to the white cardstock with my sewing machine. I then positioned the photo of Danny as the center of the sun.

To help keep the focus on my photo, I layered two darker pieces of patterned paper behind the photo. Next, I layered some die cuts, tags and stickers and then further embellished it with some wood veneers and the little cork heart.

I have one more layout and a card that I also created for Jillibean Soup that I will be sharing soon, so stay tuned!

I Am | 17turtles Cut Files

Hi everyone! It’s the second Monday of the month and that means I get to share my 17turtles project with you! It’s Monique Liedtke with a fun layout using the 17turtles Digital Cut Files called Everyday Circle Clips.

I really love the trend where you use a large cut file and adhere all kinds of different patterned papers behind. So that’s what I did for today’s project!

I chose one of the four cut files from the Everyday Circle Clips, the one with the camera, and enlarged it to almost 12x12 size.

I cut it out of a sheet of smooth white cardstock and used a black pen to trace the camera to emphasize it a bit more. I glued different papers from the Simple Stories I Am collection behind it and use one small(ish) photo which I positioned on the left side of the camera. Next I embellished around it.

Creating with Background Cut Files

Happy Monday! It’s Katrina sharing a page with one of the newer background files in the 17turtles Etsy shop, Heartfelt Background. As soon as I saw this file, I knew it was going to be my next project.

I love background files that you can back certain areas of and can give them a different feel than what you would originally think of using them for. When I first started this layout I was going to use the pink paper for the cut file, but then decided that I liked the contrast and pop of the black polka dot paper.

I love that with this file it is super easy to use different papers to back and add a twist, instead of backing with all one paper. I love paper and patterns, so I love adding more if I can!

I didn’t add a lot to this page, because I felt like the background was the perfect touch and I didn’t want to hide too much of it. I did add the journaling area and then the embellishment area below. Both of the areas were just to highlight my photo.

This is the cut file that I used for my layout. It is available now in the 17turtles Cut File Shop on Etsy!

Paper Issues Eggs-cellent Add-Venture Linky Party | Easter Peep Cake Scrapbook Page

So, have you played along yet with the latest issue at Paper Issues? On Monday, I shared the exciting news that 17turtles is the sponsor for this issue. The current issue is called Eggs-cellent Add-ventures and I invite you to head over to the Paper Issues blog to get all of the details about it.

Of course, I had to play along, so I created a Easter themed layout using one of the new cut files that I created for this issue called Happy Hoppy Easter. Last Easter, I was inspired to create a Easter Basket Peep Cake for our family Easter dinner after seeing one on Pinterest. I love all things Peeps, so no one was surprised that I made it! And of course, it was quite yummy!

As you can see, I used the trio of bunnies from the Happy Hoppy Easter cut file. I cut them from cardstock in colors that matched the Peeps and then adhered them to my layout.

CUSTOM SPRAY INK COLORS

You might have noticed some ink splatters on my layout.  When I began to select the colors I wanted to use, I realized that all of my colors were too bold and bright. I needed something more pastel to better coordinate with the papers I was using. My dear friend Tracey (who was over at my house scrapping for the day) suggested that I mix the colors with white. It worked perfectly! 

I used a paint mixing tray. I poured in some of the white ink and then added a drop or two of color. I then the colors to mix them together. The white toned the bright colors down and gave me the perfect pastel colors that I was looking for!

Create your own custom color spray ink by mixing colors. Pastel colors created by mixing Dylusions White Linen Ink Spray with other Dylusions colors and Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spray Ink.
