Cut File, Mixed Media, and More!Valentine's Day is coming up, so I have a love-themed layout to share today! I used lots of different techniques on this one, including backing a cut file, adding mixed media, and fussy cutting. This was one of those layouts where the idea came to me at 2 a.m. Considering it was a middle-of-the-night idea, I think it turned out pretty well! I was super inspired by the typewriter icons in the Paige Evans Splendid collection. I basically took one of those and blew it up on a large scale to fill up the entire layout. This worked out great because I didn't have to make so many decisions about what color to make the typewriter or what flowers to embellish with. To start off, I cut and backed this adorable typewriter cut file, also by Paige Evans. I used red cardstock from my stash and a lined paper from Splendid. To make the spacebar and other typewriter keys more dimensional, I backed each one with itty bitty pieces of foam. I love how it mimics the way real typewriter keys stick up. Next I chose a light blue grid paper from BoBunny for my background. I decided to jazz up the area beneath the bottom of the typewriter with some mixed media, so I pulled out one of my favorite Lindy's Gang Magical Powders: Jana's Jade. A tiny title in a typewriter font, fussy cut flowers, and lots of journaling finish up the page. Be sure to check out the process video below!

And sometimes good enough...is good enough. Thanks for stopping by today, and stay scrappy!
