Hello! It’s Jana Eubank. Creating with cut files always gets my creative juices flowing. For today’s layout, I am working with the FREE ‘Before You Go’ cut file from the Fall 2023 Issue and the beautiful ‘Autumn Vibes’ collection by PhotoPlay. Take a look at the cut file I used:

And here is the layout I created:

Supplies | Photo Play Autumn Vibes collection: patterned paper, stickers; Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine: Fall 2023 Before You Go Cut File; We R Makers: San Serif Alpha Dies; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: EZ Runner tape adhesive & 3D foam adhesive; Colored Pencils: Koh-I-Noor; Embroidery Floss

I decided to create an aperture with the wreath cut file. I added it to the brown patterned paper (Crisp Air paper), then used my fine-tipped scissors to cut out the center. Next, I adhered the entire piece over the teal Fall Frolic patterned paper with foam tape.

I cut the wreath file from dark brown cardstock. After removing the inside details of the cut file in my Silhouette program, I cut it again from kraft cardstock to layer behind the dark brown outline layer. Before adhering them together I used colored pencils to fill in the images. It turned out so bright and happy—just like the colors of autumn!

I used an alphabet die set from We R Makers to create a coordinating title. I cut it out from both dark brown and kraft cardstock, offsetting them from one another to create a shadow effect. Next, I used embroidery floss in fall colors to add hand-stitching to the center of each letter.

In the bottom-left corner of my photo, I created a large embellishment cluster using several stickers from the Autumn Vibes 12×12 Sticker Sheet along with a fussy-cut apple basket from the cut-apart sheet.

Finally, I added machine stitching in tan around the perimeter of the page to tie in with the color of the kraft cardstock that I used to back the cut file and to cut the title.

The beautiful colors of the PhotoPlay Paper Autumn Vibes collection along with this beautiful wreath cut file from the Fall 2023 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine were the perfect combination to scrapbook this snapshot of my family. I love the warm, cozy feel I was able to achieve!

Thanks for coming by!
