Cut It Up @ Paper Issues!!

Cut it up March is now up a ready to go over at Paper Issues Facebook Group!! If you didn't know, Paper Issues besides carrying all the newest lines in scrapbooking also has FREE cut files! WHAAAT? I'm sure I told you already but I still can't get over it because they are so awesome- I'm not sure how they can be free!  Cassie is just that sweet!! Stacie came up with this great gem for the month of March! All the stars?? Gorgeous! 

It also comes with the bonus "Count your lucky stars" title!! 2 cuts- both free- equally amazing! 

I used for this page just the star background cut file. 

I used a hodge podge of ingredients for this page. I backed the stars with a rainbow kaleidoscope looking paper by We R Memory Keepers #Selfie line. ( It's an old page, I believe -it's no longer in the store ) I put the cut file on top of a white cardstock but cut it down so I could still give it a border which is from the Bella Blvd. line.  And because I've fallen head over heels with the new Amy Tangerine's On a Whim- I used it to layer the photo and embellish the page. I thought it went well with all the colors! 

I just thought this photo of me - taken a few..ha.. years ago just screamed fun and happiness. I've scrapped a few from this photo shoot but haven't done this one yet. It's actually my favorite so I'm surprised it look this long. This page just makes me smile, how fun and summery. 

Can't wait to see what you all come up with using this amazing cut file by Stacie! Don't forget to also grab some great goodies from Paper Issues, she 's adding so much new stuff all the time! Use the code Renee to save yourself 20%!!

Cut It Up @ Paper Issues.

I don't know how many of you knew this, but did you know that Paper Issues also offers free Cut Files? Like what you can use on your Silhouette Cameo? Well they do! This month they rolled out so many new ones to coordinate with the new lines as well as the Valentine Holiday!  Stacie is a rock star and I love her designs!! Such as this new one that I used! 

Isn't it awesome?!  

With this layout, I literally just went strolling in my stash container for all the things pink toned. I came out with a ton of papers and cut them up in to small squares. Than backed each heart with an ombre effect of the pink papers back and forth. ( It's a little time consuming but definitely worth it! ) For the embellishments, I did similar fashion- digged though my stash for left over valentine's things and used also what was left from last month's PI Swag Bag- including the bag. Ha! 

Also if you spot that pig sticker, I've been saving him for a page I could do on my nephew. This was the perfect chance! This was a picture from he was younger clearly- and ready to sell his sister for a dollar! :P But my nephew is obsessed with all things pigs! So dang cute, he has names for all his pig stuffed animals and gets new ones when he goes to different places. Who knew that pigs were so popular everywhere?! Even when they went on their holiday over to Europe, they were celebrating the year of the PIG. How perfect!!  I'm just excited I got to make this cute page for him! 

Hope you enjoyed this page and get your hands on some of the cut files over at Paper Issues! They are so great, there's one for everyone no matter what you're looking for!
