rest | paper issues pinspire challenge

Today brings a new challenge to paper issues.  The pin this time was just so much fun.  The colors and all the hearts are perfect for a non traditional "love" theme.  I wish I would have had a photo of my hubby and I to use with this but I am still super inspired and will probably make another page later.

Paper Issues Cut File #3

I finally get to play with cut files now.  YAH!!!  My husband, FIL and MIL went together to purchase my Silhouette Cameo.  Of course the first thing to do was cut some basic files and a few WA I made in PS.  Then I was ready to have some fun with the cut file at Paper Issues.  This file is available for free on the PI blog.  Download it, make something with it and link up for a chance to win a January Swag Bag.  This challenge is almost over with Friday being the last day to link up.  There are only a handful of link ups so you have a pretty good chance of winning.

Here is my page with the file.  I took the whole paper that was left after cutting and placed it on a white 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.  Then I grabbed all the triangles that were cut out, flipped them over to the B side.  Those went back into the cut outs in a few places for contrast.  I think it came out pretty neat.

Swag Bag love

I seriously LOVE paper issues swag bags. So many wonderful little goodies in one bag. Every time I go back to it I find something new to use. I pulled my October bag out the other day and decided to make a page out of just my SB goodies. This page is all about my love of all day coffee during fall.


The October Swag Bag is sold out.  (booo)  but I have it on good authority that the November bag is going to be even more spectacular.  (yahhh!)
