Help Others - Paper Issues

The Paper Issues Team is spotlighting the She Blooms collection from Illustrated Faith.  I played along creating this layout of my boy serving others on Christmas Day.  We have joined my husbands Mason group for the second year, feeding the homeless, Christmas afternoon.  We love it and have found that it is the best thing that we could ever do.

Bloom Love - A Flair for Buttons

I am excited to be starting the swap off with a layout I created using Illustrated Faith, She Blooms collection.  It matches perfectly with the given flair and cut file.  I combined the flair and the cut files to resemble a garden around my beautiful pup.  As she basks in the sun, flowers bloom around her.

I encourage you to stop by the A Flair for Buttons blog to see what the Team is designing and head over to The Cut Shoppe to see how they are using the flair!

Moments with Friends - Paper Issues

My Silhouette scares me.  I get nervous and overthink things when I want to use it.  

Instead of doing something crazy with the FREE cut file from the Paper Issues store, I kept it simple. I cut a patterned paper and embellished with enamels from Bella Blvd.  

On the Paper Issues blog, a few members of the Design Team have used the cut file in some pretty talented ways.  

I used Illustrated Faith She Blooms by Bella Blvd.  It is gorgeous all on its own!
