Thursday Trends

Hi fellow paper lovers!

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month already since my last blog post…time flies! Today, I will be telling you about a trend that I blissfully ignored for a long time because it looked too time consuming (I’m a lazy scrapper, what can I say?). I’m talking about “fussy cutting”, ie, cutting patterns out of patterned paper. I’m actually really sorry I didn’t try it out earlier because it turned out to be one of my favourite techniques! Nowadays, I look for patterned papers with images that I can cut out. Luckily for me, Pink Paislee has a good variety of those

For this layout, I used papers and embellishments from the Captivating mini-line. I cut out the leaves and tiny blue flowers from the Beautiful paper (very fitting name, this paper is gorgeous) to embellish my layout. I prefer to have flat pages in my albums so fussy cutting allows me to add details to my layouts without adding extra bulk. I also cut the scallops from the Lovely paper to add to the right of my picture block.

Completely off topic but don’t you love that each mini-line comes with THREE alphas in different sizes/colours/fonts? I am completely addicted to all of them!

Do you like to cut images out of patterned paper? Share your creations on LivePink so we can ooohhh and aaaahh over your layouts!

Until next month!
