In my November Kit I included several cut files. The first one is from Page Evans' Happy Scrappy Place Facebook group. She has lots of free cutting files on her group. Well I fell in love with the lightbulbs and they were perfect for one of the icons in our inspiration kit.

I have this love/hate relationship with my Silhouette. Sometimes it will allow me to cut, sometimes it will cut the file wonky, sometimes it won't cut. This month I was lucky and was able to cut several files for my CKC - Here and There. With this file this the top did not cut correctly, so I cut my lightbulbs apart. I used the tree 6x6x paper pad I included with my kit to back the cut file. OMG - this took forever, but was so worth it. I had glue and little pieces of paper everywhere.

For my oldest son I used the Maggi Holmes - Style Board Paper. I trimmed a off  two sides and distressed the edges. then backed it with tan cardstock. I added the bird chipboard, a couple of punched birds and branches. I added white cardstock behind the sticker and made a pocket card to fit into the Journaling Pocket. I did add a bit of foam tap behind the leaves in a couple of places to add dimension. Then I added the sequins.

For my layout I again used the Maggie Holmes paper, distress the edges and backed with tan cardstock. I pulled a few of the stickers, backed with white cardstock and made a journaling card to fit in the journaling pocket.

For my youngest son I used a ColorBox  paper as I only had the two papers from Maggie Holmes.  To keep the Chevron pattern in the middle of the paper I lightly folded it in half and cut the 12x12 paper down. I again added the light bulbs and birds.  I cut down a Journaling card, added the "lead with your heart", bird and branch to the card.

I made sure that the word "love" was placed onto each of the layouts. I only had two of the bird wood veneers left so I made sure to add it to my youngest's layout as I had the paper from Maggie Holmes. If I don't have "3" of something I like to spread them out so that each layout has the theme going.
