Learn Something New Everyday...

I am a little late in the game posting this layout but it's my blog and I'll do as I please! LOL

I designed this layout a few months ago using the Back to School FREE cut file from Paper Issues and the October Afternoon Summertime line.

I also sneaked a few Color Cast Designs bits in here and there including these acrylic and wood veneer words. "Hello" is from the Bloom set, "me today" is from the Embellish Me Neutral set and "my everyday," is from the Here and Now set.

I bunched together some more Color Cast Designs wood veneers from the Currently set with the October Afternoon stickers here.

I love this photo of my sister living life and doing what she loves to do -- and how adorable is that big baby llama?!?

Here is a close up of the file created by the ever talented Danielle de Konink.

Paper Issues FREE October Cut File!

This month Paper Issues has an awesome Halloween themed FREE cut file for you! Danielle designed this web background and you can pick it up for FREE right HERE along with all of the other FREE cut files, FREE printables and FREE sketches that Paper Issues provides each month!

I LOVE this file and I was instantly inspired by it.

I didn't want to use a lot of patterned paper because I wanted the web to really pull the layout together!

I used an older Echo Park Halloween line to layer some basic papers behind each photo and then used stickers to add bits here and there!

I really loved how this turned out! Isn't it awesome when a layout actually transfers from your brain to the paper as expected?!?!

Thank you for stopping by today to take a look! Don't forget to play along with our FREE cut files and link them up in the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook group in our monthly challenge albums for a chance to win!

Awesome...

I was hoarding this photo of Anson waiting for the So Rad collection from Simple Stories to hit the Paper Issues shop! I KNEW that the So Rad line was made for this picture alone! LOL

For this layout I used pieces from the chipboard frames, chipboard shapes, the brads and the die cut pack from the So Rad collection.

I also used the Currently set from Color Cast Designs! That "Right Now," sentiment is probably my favorite thing every! I think I have used it on layouts in smoke grey and gold too! LOL

I also incorporated one of the cards from the Rise & Sine FREE Paper Issues Cut File. 

I'm telling you...this paper line; MADE FOR this photo! 

Thank you so much for taking a look today!
