Cuttin' it up in 2017

Hey hey what's up?!?!?  So first things first,  I had day surgery on Thursday, and I'm still recovering, and am in a bit of pain, but that hasn't stopped me from creating!  I have been loving that being on the Paper Issues Design Team means that I get to participate in as many of the challenges as I want, and so far I have wanted to participate in all of them!
Since I love using cut files  I knew I had to participate in this challenge.  I already new exactly what photo I wanted to scrap, and after tweaking it a bit to get the colours just right I got to work.  I wanted to keep my layout bright, and funky, with lots going on, and I decided, on a whim, to delve into mixed media.  Now mixed media is not my forte, I am no expert in it, and the few times that I have attempted to do the "packaging technique" I have failed miserably, but this time I love how it turned out!  Since I was using a big title I kept my other embellishments to a minimum and just let the pic and the title shine through!  I love the carefree silliness of this layout and as usually I used a mish mash of lines, including Crate Paper Cute Girl, Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life, and Paige Evans Take Me Away!  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the Paper Issue blog for even more awesome inspiration!

And here is my process video so you can see how I made my layout!
