Good morning SCT fans! First we want to wish all our American team, readers, industry partners and friends a very happy 4th of July! Today's free cut file created by design team member Nicole Nowosad of JustNick will be perfect to help capture your celebrations today!

"Have you been enjoying flipping through your summer issue of SCT Magazine? I have been making time to scrap some of those summer photos that have been stacking up in my house and luckily this months' freebie was perfect for that!

I asked the talented Laura Whitaker to join me on the blog this month and use the freebie in any way she wanted. Check out what she created:

Laura

I was so thrilled to be invited by Nicole to be the guest here for this month's free cut file! I love the cut file that Nicole created, it inspired me to get creating as soon as I saw it. It definitely spoke summer to me and had me reaching for bright colours and a fun photo of my grandson! As you can see I used the sunglasses cut file as my main focal area, which acts as both a title and a "home" for my photo.  I also used some of the other pieces of the cut file as embellishments, which included turning one into a sequin shaker.

I also used the sunglasses as a main focal point on my page:

I was able to diecut some smaller script font words and add them along the upper edge of the sunglasses to add to my title work. I love the ombre like feel you get from the paper by Pink Paislee too!  Along with some other diecut shapes from the freebie, I added in some pre-made diecuts by Fancy Pants Designs!
