Cut & Paste Blog Share

Welcome to the Clique Kits Blog Share featuring Amy Tangerine's Cut & Paste collection.  I am so excited to be using this collection because you all may already know how much I adore all things Amy Tan!!  Her style to me is fresh, simple, fun and never goes out of style!  I love the icons she uses in all her collections and the camera is my favorite!  Her collections can be used in so many different ways to document life and her new collection Plus One has my heart skipping a beat!

Today I am sharing two layouts with you using the Cut & Paste collection and with photos of my two youngest babies.  I love to document the big events in life just like everyone else but it is very important to me to document the little things as well!  Our two youngest are always up to something and I try to capture as much as I can on camera!  The day I captured this photo of Eli and Gavin at the kitchen table was special to me because little Eli is actually sitting in a big boy booster seat at the big table eating strawberries for breakfast with his own little fork!  Melts my heart into a puddle!  Big brother Gavin is keeping a very close eye on him like he always does making sure he is doing things the "right way"!


I used one of the embroidery kits to create the number 2 on my tag and placed one of the heart die cuts on the tag as well with the hash tag wood embellishment from Creative Embellishments.  I heat embossed  the embellishment in white so that it would stand out on the heart!  For my next layout I used the 12 x12 Word Up paper from the collection that has some word bubbles and stitched blocks around the paper.  I thought this would be a lot of fun to create a layout with and fill the stitched blocks with photos, journaling and embellishments.
I used photos of Eli and Gavin and their daily adventures at home!  Cuddling, getting into trouble and just being so darn cute!!


I kept this layout pretty simple but I love how it turned out and it documents these two little guys perfectly!  Make sure you leave a comment on each blog along the way for your chance to win this great prize pack.
