Girl Squad- Paper Issues

Hello, my loves! Courtney here and it's my turn on the blog today and I am so excited to share the layout I created for Scraplift Sunday. This week we are lifting Becky and her original is so good!

Here's a look at what I created. 


Now I am going to be completely honest. I struggled hard with this one. Typically I love scraplifts because I don't have to overthink, but this one I did. I think it's because she had all of that beautiful Crate Paper. 

I knew I wanted to use Crate Paper’s line Hooray to show off a photo from one of my bestie’s 30th birthday. This picture is special to me because we don't always get to see each other, but these girls are my support system! I didn't have the entire collection and sometimes I feel like I have to. I was able to work with what I had to create this. 

Anywho, let me jump into how I created this! As I said, I used the Hooray line by Crate Paper, but I didn't pick up a ton of it. I'm really regretting that though because this line has me smitten. The colors and patterns are amazing and probably some of my favorites that I have worked with. 


Here's a list of what I used: 
  • Crate Paper- Party Paper for the background 
  • Crate Paper- For You- Cut apart for two of the tags and the cut out of the girl
  • Crate Paper- Birthday Girl- for the Rainbow part 
  • Random Crate paper ephemera for the hearty, craft tag, love this, and the tag. 
  • Frames are from Crate Paper Good Vibes 
  • #girl squad thickers- Pebbles Girl Squad

I used the frames and cut them apart so I could use them in multiple spots. I also popped everything up with pop dots. I added a few random black stars that were on my desk and some yellow enamel hearts. Then I finished it off with gold Heidi Shine. 


I hope you love this layout as much as I do.
I can't wait to see what you create over in the Facebook group!

You Are Loved- Simple Stories

YOU ARE LOVED! Hey y’all! Courtney here and today I am sharing the layout I created using the So Happy Together collection. This is such a beautiful collection and I wanted to put every single piece in the collection on my layout. I decided to go with a free cut file from Paper Issues so I could use a ton of patterned papers. For backing my cut files I used a variety of pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad. I love having the smaller prints to use with cut files. I cut my actual cut file on the Happy Heart paper, I am obsessed with anything polka dot and black and white. I cut about an inch ½ inch on each side so I could layer the beautiful Our Story paper behind it. After I filed my cut file, I began laying a ton of ephemera, chipboard and stickers. There is a ton of great images and tiny word phrases. I layered a 4x4 photo that I trimmed down to fit onto the gingham 4x4 card and then I layered it onto the My Family paper. Then I finished my cluster with a w...

You and Me- Simple Stories

YOU & ME! Hey y’all! Courtney here again and today I am sharing a layout that I created using Autumn Splendor collection. This collection reminds me of my child hood. We always had these amazing vintage calendars in our house and every year when they were done my mom would cut them up to use as ephemera or decoupage the cutouts on something artistic. For this layout, I used  a cut file from Paper Issues called You and Me and cut it out in black to make it pop off the page. Then I backed the cut file in Seasons if Change, the B side of the 4x4 elements, Grateful Hearts, Autumn Leaves, and the b side of the 2x2 elements. I used the Elm/Cream Ledger paper from the SN@P Basics as my background. I matted my photos on a piece of vellum and then on the Grateful Hearts paper. I layered them on either side of the cut file. I created three clusters with another cut file from Paper Issues called Collecting Leaves that I cut out of the Turquoise Dots paper. I then layer...
