Home Cutfile Layout~Pinkfresh Studio Let's Stay Home | Nicole Kerr

Hello scrappy friends!
Nicole here and today I'm sharing a 12x12 cutfile layout featuring the Pinkfresh Studio Let's Stay Home kit from Clique International!  What inspired me to create this was a combination of combining older cutfiles with newer product and also the monochromatic square paper in the Pinkfresh kit!  The cutfile and paper worked so perfectly together that I knew I needed to use them together on a page!
Here's a look at my completed project:

I began by backing my cutfile with the squares from the Pinkfresh kit.  If you notice, the squares are two different colors and on a diagonal, just like the houses.  I chose to glue the squares on the opposite diagonal than the house. This is really noticeable on the bottom two green houses in the photo above.
After the entire cutfile was put together, I, of course, had to add mixed media. There isn't a project that goes by that I don't incorporate it in some way! So I took the hearts that were left on my cutting mat, removed them, painted them with gesso, then painted them with Lindy's Magical Shakers in California Poppy Gold.  (This was a shaker that was included in our fall kit from last year, so if you have it, break it out and use it with this collection!)  This yellow matches the yellow/gold in this collection perfectly! Once they were dry, I used foam adhesive to pop them up on my layout.

Once my background was complete, it didn't take much more to complete the layout.  The background did a lot already!  I added two photos, title and a few embellishments, including a small embellishment cluster in the top left of the page, and called this layout done!

Here are a few more photos and there is a YouTube process below! I would love for you to stop by and subscribe!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you've been inspired!
