Utilizing Die Cuts

Hi scrappers! This week I bring you a layout featuring an impromptu selfie of my husband and I taken in Laguna Beach. The water was such a pretty color the day! It feels so good getting my favorite selfies printed and off my phone. Now I can put them in an album or hang them on my wall. Is. anyone else excited to get their prints in the mail, even though you already know what all your images look like?

I started with some basic beige paper by K & Company. This stack doesn’t appear to have a name, but it contains solids and polka dots. I had a scrap piece of paper I had embossed using the Mosaic Jewels embossing folder by Sizzix which I cut in half to span across the page.

One die cut really was front and center on this page. The Bee Hive die cut from Sizzix really came in handy and I love that it allowed me to mix and match hexagons since they were all cut the exact same size. There’s no way I could hand cut any of these and have them look the same. I also added in some hexagon stickers from the Carpe Diem Beautiful Mini Sticker Tablet and some Scrap Yard die cuts by Kaiser Craft.

This page was made for the October 123 Scrapbooking Challenge. These were colors I don’t think ever would have put together but that’s what made me want to try it. I also was drawn to all the hexagons, plus, that scrap piece of embossed paper was similar to the doily print in the sketch and it was the right color! The hexagons I used were small than the sketch so I used more of them. I love how this page turned out!

That’s all for this week. I’ve been busy posting on YouTube with their new Shorts feature so check that out here if you get the chance. I’ll see you all next time!
