Smile, Laugh, Play | Sheena Rowlands | Fussy Cutting

Hi there UK Scrap Addicts x Sheena here again.

Our challenge this month is Fussy Cutting. When I think of fussy cutting I think of cutting flowers from patterned papers so I wanted to do something different for this challenge.

I had a root through some of the patterned papers in my stash and found this one by Pink Paislee for Paige Evans and felt it had potential so I got fussy cutting.

Smile, Laugh, Play.

From the patterned paper I cut out all the 5 full scalloped circles with a little white border to help them stay whole.I tend to do this type of fussy cutting in front of the TV but with a tray on my lap to catch the bits!!

Once cut I positioned them one at a time on the patterned paper background machine stitching them down. Once they were all sewn down I curled the scallops a little.

I added a small photo and embellished around it with Paige Evans die cuts from a number of different ranges.

I hope you are inspired to do some fussy cutting and please share with us on our UK Scrap Addicts Facebook group.

Till next time x

Hi UK Scrap Addicts!

Kirei back again sharing my layout for this month's 'Sparkle' theme....

As you can see I added the sparkle through lots of pretty sequins.... I decided to do some stash busting and use up some of the many that I have been hoarding.

I used a cute heart cut file by Paige Taylor Evans and drew though it to mark out the different areas, which I then filled with lots of lovely sequins... that took me a while!

The paper collection I used was the lovely Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'Midnight' as it was perfect with my fun Snapchat photos.

I also managed to get 'sparkle' into my title...

I hope you feel inspired by this month's 'Sparkle' theme... whether you use sparkly papers, a sparkly style photo, lots of glitter or 'sparkle' in your title we do love to see everyone's take on the theme so please don't forget to share your layouts over on the UK Scrap Addicts Facebook page!

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!
