Hi..

I've been having fun creating today with the very lovely crate paper hello love

That I just got yesterday I thought I would treat myself to some crafty stuff

So I joined in on the cut shoppe cut challenge I've had this Cutfile on my pc for a while and forgot I had it 

The Cut Shoppe 

My daughter and I always have fun taking selfies 

I was so in love with this collection when I got all the pretty papers and opened the embelishments 

I couldn't wait to play with it...

I did go with a simple design but I felt it needed to have a simple design with a big photo as I normally use a 3x4 photos but a change is always good 

I cut 2 strips one larger then the other for the top and bottom of my layout 

Then I decided I would add a half a inch strip over the edge of the top strip adding added texture

I also added some embelishments to the bottom of my layout and used a stamp from my stash

And a few embelishments around my photo
