September Sketch - Life.Paper.Scrapbook

Hello All!

I am excited to share this month I was asked to be a guest designer at Life.Paper.Scrapbook! Here is my layout for the September Sketch. Click here to view the sketch comp. You could win yourself a fabulous scrap kit from Polly Scrap Kits.

I had fun using lots of layers with some of the new papers from My Minds Eye - Cut and Paste collection
and I just love the little deer from Basic Grey - Mint Julep Collection. The cute arrow paper clip is from Freckled Fawn.

Cards

Hello

First day of school holidays here! Great to enjoy some extra family time :-) Today I  just wanted to share some simple cards. I like to have a bit of a stash of handmade cards for when I need them.

I normally like to use a simple white or kraft cardstock as my base. Then adding layers and stitching. Also a favorite of mine is tags and twine.

 This Baby girl title was cut on my silhouette cameo in white cardstock and I coloured it with pink ink. This card is also different because it opens in the center. 

 I have also been playing with the sketch pen on my cameo, totally fun! I will share some pics next time.

Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog!
Have a great week :-)

Using the Silhouette Cameo for Titles

There are many exciting ways you can use your silhouette cameo to create titles for layouts. In these layouts I have tried two different ways.

The first layout I have used a cut file downloaded from the silhouette online store. I have made it to the size I like and then cut it on this red patterned paper. Very easy and effective! 

SIMPLY ADORE YOU

This next layout I used a font I liked and typed up this saying as my title using the silhouette studio software. I then cut it out of my background paper to have the negative  I then put a plain paper behind the negative to make the letters stand out. Also simple but very effective!

So how do you cut titles for your layouts? Please share with me your favorites!
