CIU #360 - Create Your Own Background

 Hello Friday, today's card share is my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #360 is Create Your Own Background. I created my background by die cutting the butterflies and  randomly glued them on the background layer;  cut the butterfly panel with the stitched rounded corner edge rectangle die thereby creating an embossed look background.  I then added the lilac colored butterfly on top of one of the butterflies on the  and finished by adding a stamped image and some mini gems. The inspiration for this card came from one of the people that I follow on YT. 

I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenges over at A Cut Above and Crafting Happiness.

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project; don't forget to use a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday July 20, 2026 at noon PST. We are also hosting a 1000 followers blog

Cut it Up is also hosting a challenge as we are just three followers away from our current goal of  1000! When we reach our goal we will have a drawing where one lucky person will win a box full of crafting goodness. This challenge is open to international followers so head on over and follow the blog!

Hello Wednesday, doing a quick drive by post as I meant to share yesterday. I have been busy finishing up my layouts for my quarterly goal! Today starts a new quarter and I already got plans this weekend to work on a few layouts as I don't have any holiday plans. 

I created this 81/2x11 layout to document a holiday visit to see the lights outside and visit Santa's indoor fun workshop.  I used my brick stencil to add some interest to the background, I always want the photos to be the focal point for my layouts, shopped my stash for some lettering for the title. Cut a few embellishments, added some enamel dots and this was layout was done. 

I am sharing this layout for Just Us Girls challenge #829 - Stencil Week.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon.
