The Paper Cut and A Sweet Life

It's here!!!  The first issue of the new GCD Studios magazine called The Paper Cut.


You are going to be so so inspired by all of the contents inside this magazine.  It is so crisp and clear, with fantastic projects and directions. (Click on the image of the magazine to view it).




Inside the front cover, you will notice a layout by Yours Truly!!!!   This is my very first LO for GCD and I was so excited to do it!  There is a feature in the magazine about flipping and altering sketches.  The layout below was based on this sketch by Pam Callaghan.




I altered the sketch a bit by shrinking it down and pushing it to one side of the page.




Believe it or not, I used ELEVEN different sheets of patterned papers from FOUR different lines to create this page!  :)
Charlotte has a new favorite treat and it's ice cream sandwiches.  I made the rectangular photo mats to look like ice cream sammies...brown border with white on the inside.

For the banner on top, I stitched with some blue thread and then stitched the banner pieces and added them on top of the blue lines with pop dots.

I fussy cut some flowers and this title block, and even used some brads for my flower centers!!!


So please go check out the magazine and leave on comment on the GCD Studios blog to let the girls know what you think!
