Fussy Cut Flowers

By Jillian Cassity

I cannot believe how amazing the September kit is!  It looked amazing in the photographs when it first went up on the site but believe me, it looks even BETTER in person! :)

Last night while I was on a long conference call I spent my time listening to the call and cutting out all of these pretty flowers from a piece of Crate Paper that came with the September kit.  After an hour of cutting I had a handful of gorgeous embellishments to use to decorate my page!

I constructed a fairly simple design and just arranged all of my flowers around it.  Ta da!  These gorgeous paper flowers make the layout look MUCH more detailed.

Another tip:  I’m sure many people have noticed this about me already but I often use multiples of the SAME photo on one page.  Sometimes when I just want to scrap ONE photo that I don’t have a match to but I think the page would look better with two or more photos, I just print one photo twice.  Don’t be afraid to do it!  It will probably save you a lot of time stressing about how to fill your page or stressing about how to come up with a matching photo. :)
