Grateful Scrapbook Page | Elle's Studio October Reveal

Grateful Scrapbook Page by Juliana Michaels for Elle's Studio October Kit Reveal

This time of year always makes me stop and think about the things that I have to be grateful for in my life. One of them is definitely my husband. Thinking of him leads me to be thankful for God's love and how he has a hand in all the things that I am grateful for in my life. One definitely leads to the other!

The scrapbook layout that I am sharing today is now up in the Elle's Studio Design Team Inspiration Gallery as part of the October Kit Reveal. She has created some amazing new goodies for you this month and I used several of them on this scrapbook page including the October Kit and October Digital Cut Files. This is also my first layout using the new Sycamore Lane collection, which is now available in the Elle's Studio Shop!

17turtles Guest Designer | Leanne Allinson

Hi Everyone! It's Leanne Allinson here today from Our Little Family, and I am so very excited to be a part of Juliana's venture in spreading the word about her fabulous cut files!! Today I want to share with you, my love of pie charts! There is so much potential with the story telling when a pie chart is involved. But I've taken this opportunity to make the Pie Chart Love digital cut file the real feature on my page.

After reducing the size of the cut file to fit my 8.5" x 11" layout, I have cut it out from plain, white cardstock. My next step was to create a stained glass window effect from the negative spaces.

Not only does the white outline from the pie chart become highlighted, but it enhances the soft palette "windows" of color, surrounding my black and white photo.

Elle's Studio Entwined Hearts FREE Digital Cut File

I Am Yours Scrapbook Page by Juliana Michaels for Elle's Studio using Entwined Hearts Free Digital Cut File 17turtles

I love creating, cutting and using large-lace like images for backgrounds on my layouts. They can add so much to a layout depending on what colors or papers you use to create them. For the layout I am sharing today, I used my FREE Entwined Hearts Digital Cut File. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut it from a piece of pink patterned paper that is part of the Elle's Studio Shine collection. The pink color added a nice contrast to the black and white photo and mostly gray paper and embellishments that I had selected to work with. It also helped the photo pop off the page. To help carry the pink color throughout the page and further balance the design I also added a few smaller pink embellishments here and there.

Creating Offset Titles | A Silhouette Cameo Tutorial

Bone Sweet Bone Scrapbook Page with Offset Title by Katrina Hunt 17turtles

Fall is finally here. The leaves are changing and the temperatures are getting cooler. I love the colors of fall, but not what comes next...winter! So how about we focus on something that we can love all year long? Today, I'm sharing a quick Silhouette Cameo tutorial on how to create an offset title. I was inspired to put this tutorial together because of the awesome Bone Sweet Bone Scrapbook Page that Katrina Hunt recently shared here on 17turtles. She used one of the titles from my Puppy Love Digital Cut File and I loved how she created an extra layer to help the title stand out on her layout.

CREATING OFFSET TITLES

To create an offset title begin by opening your title image and re-size it to your desired dimensions.

Next, locate the Offset Window in your tool bar.

Click on this button to open the Offset Window.

To create the offset for your title, select your title image and the click on Offset. You can also adjust the amount of offset (which is the distance that is around the image) by sliding the blue arrow, typing in the number or using the small up/down arrows. Once you are satisfied with the amount of offset, click apply.

Now that you have your offset, you will want to separate the images before you begin cutting. Select the offset image and drag it away from the title image. Position the images on the mat as desired and you are now ready to cut.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial and will give it a try on your next crafting project! If you have any questions or if there is something you want to learn about with your Silhouette Cameo, just let me know. I'd be happy to create a tutorial just for you!!!
