Study Hall

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!  Today is the Homecoming dance here where I am from and my will be attending with his good friend!  I am so excited for him to get ready and to see his date all dressed up and of coarse take a lot of photos!  I have so many photos and one way I like to scrap them is buy using cutfiles!  Clique Kits has a ton of cutfiles in the shop and some good freebies as well!  I love to cut a bunch out at one time that way when I have some time to scrap I can grab one and start creating!  My favorite thing to do is back the files with pattern papers!

Today I am using a free cut file designed by Maraym Perez that you can find in The Clique Facebook Group!  It is originally sized for a card front but I changed the size to fit my 12x12 page!  

I used a paper pack that I picked up from the Clique Kits shop!  I love a good masculine collection and the High Five collection from WRMK is perfect and it is only $3.50 right now!  Don't forget to use one of our Design Team member 10% off coupons at check out for even more savings!  I love the blue color in this collection and the splashes of black!

Once I had all the hearts backed with this awesome pattern paper I began embellishing my layout!  I had pulled some things from my stash and also the 6x12 sticker sheet from the collection!

I used the scraps from backing the hearts as my layers behind my photos!  You dont need full sheets to add layers!  Just little bits of papers peeking out can make a big impact!  I love how the layout turned out and I love how easy it is to create an awesome background with this cutfile!!  I would love to see how you use this cutfile in your projects!!  We have a handful of there freebie cutfiles in The Clique Facebook group!!  You can find them under the Files section in the group!  Here is a look at my final layout!

Make sure to check out the clearance section in the Clique Kits shop!  Tons of great deals for great prices!!  A lot of these products can be mixed in with new collections and kits to help stretch your kits out even longer!  I will have a couple more posts coming your way before I take a small break for maternity leave!  I have been busy cleaning my house out so I guess I am nesting!  Last night I was in the office and cleaned for about 4 hours!  Organizing and getting things ready to go for our subscribers for the next few months!  I found a few more small embellishment mystery boxes and these are now up in the shop! You can grab one HERE in the CK shop!  These boxes are $20.00 and this includes the shipping cost!  Please use the code FREE9 at checkout to get the shipping charge removed!  Thanks so much for stopping by today and I will see you again on the blog in a few days!
