Hello and happy Friday, here to share my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #349 is This Makes me Happy. I decided to create a layout using some pictures of me, my children and my dad taken after the celebration of my mom's life service last year. Family is all we have and anytime I spend with my family is usually happy even though it may not be a happy occasion. We are coming up on a year and it is still hard, I know that there is no time limits related to grief so I try not to dwell on the loss.
When I created my layout I used miscellaneous papers from various paper pada or packages. I used two different die sets to cut the hearts and my Cricut to cut the word family, used some Echo Park stickers for the word love, added some Prima flowers and a few gems and this layout was done. I had a hard time getting a good picture. I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge #177 over at Love to Scrap.
I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration. Create and share your project using a die and the theme, the challenge starts today ands Monday, February 16, 2026 at noon PST.
