Hello! Lorilei here today sharing my first layout with the new Whimsical collection by Paige Evans & Pink Paislee! Whimsical is fantastic! I love the colors, the artsy-crafty theme, and the slight vintage touch to some of the papers and ephemera! I knew right away which cut file of Paige's to choose for my first time using Whimsical, the Oh How She Loved To Be Home cut file.
I started by cutting the design from Paper 05 on my Silhouette Cameo 3. Next, I added a border to the cut file (.125) and cut the border from white cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere the words to the white border piece. I left some of the edges of the patterned words unglued for dimension and shadow. While the cut file was drying, I used my Vicki Boutin Art Crayons and made custom mixes to match the colors in Whimsical. I used the packaging technique to add the paint to the white cardstock background.

I chose to use a photo of my crafty space. I love to be home and especially love to be in my craft room! I backed the photo with a piece of green floral paper from the Whimsical 6x6 Paper Pad, some tissue paper, and a doily. I popped up the photo cluster on some craft foam. I tucked the photo into the cut file spot above the "L", seemed like a perfect fit! I fussy cut the floral image from the 6x6 Paper Pad, added one of the GORGEOUS-MUST HAVE Tassel Paper Clips to the edge of the photo, and a Chipboard Sticker that says "Dream Plan Create" above the tassel clip.

To finish off my page, I used quite a few Rub-Ons! They are the cutest designs and are the perfect way to add interest to cluster or feature areas. I added three tiny hearts to the bottom right above the washi tape and chipboard ruler, scalloped rub-ons under the left edge of the photo, a floral rub-on under the fussy cut flowers, and three perfectly pink hearts near the top right of my photo.
