Be Merry Be Bright | Mistletoe Kisses - Simple Stories | Tarrah McLean

Hi everyone!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you again today. Sadly this will be my last share with you as November and my guest designer position here at Sassy Scrappers has almost come to an end :(
I can however show you my newest layout that I created using the amazing Mistletoe Kisses collection from Simple Stories!! 

I started out with a plain white cardstock background and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a large Christmas Tree cut file available now in The Cut Shoppe! 

I then backed the white tree cut out with the pretty stripe patterned paper from the Mistletoe Kisses collection. I love how the colours look behind the cut file! 

I used all the different embellishments from the collection to embellish my layout including the ephemera pack, the decorative clips and the stickers too. The wood veneer pieces are from a different collection! I also used one of The Cut Shoppe's cut files for my title, cutting it out, adhering it and then machine stitching through it for a little bit of texture!  

Thank you so much for stopping by the Sassy blog and for looking at my projects this last month!
Happy creating!

Snow Day | Simple Stories Mistletoe Kisses | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy fans! It's Tarrah McLean back with you sharing another scrapbook layout I have created for our current team up with The Cut Shoppe! I am currently guest designing here at Sassy Scrappers and have used the gorgeous Simple Stories Mistletoe Kisses collection! 

I used a white gel pen in my Silhouette Cameo to draw The Cut Shoppe Snow Day cut file design instead of cutting it out. I then coloured them all in by hand using the same white gel pen!  

The Mistletoe Kisses collection has lots of snow related items included! Even though we don't do snow at this time of year, I still wanted to make use of some of those cute items so I pulled out a photo of my eldest son from a snow visit 2 years.  

I cut the Snow Day title from one of the papers and then used foam tape to add dimension...this allowed me to be to tuck things underneath and also creates some shadow too.

There is still a little bit of time to save 25% off your entire order at The Cut Shoppe with the discount code below!

Tarrah McLean | Mistletoe Kisses by Simple Stories | The Cut Shoppe Cut Files

Hi everyone!
It's Tarrah McLean here with you and I am super excited to be guest designing in November for Olga and the Sassy Scrapper girls! 
I chose to work with the super cute Mistletoe Kisses collection by Simple Stories. I created a layout about my very own life size Elf! 

We are super lucky to be able to work with some of Ashley's cut files from The Cut Shoppe! I have used 2 different cut files that match my theme perfectly on this layout!

My photo has mainly red and green colours so I chose lots of the red and green pieces from the Mistletoe Kisses collection to co-ordinate it all! 

Here is a process video showing how I created my layout!

If you have ever watched the movie 'Buddy The Elf' you will understand and relate to all the phrases by him included in this collection! They go perfectly with this layout! The triangle cut file I have used actually says 'Buddy The Elf' but I hid the 'Buddy' part by adding a die cut over the top using some foam tape to adhere it.

Thank you so much for joining me on the Sassy blog today!  Stay tuned for more projects created by me coming up soon!
Happy creating!
