Hey everyone! It’s Elsie Robinson here sharing a Valentines(ish!) themed layout. As you would expect, Paige has so many cute Valentine cut files available, so I was spoilt for choice! I decided on a ‘sweet’ theme and chose the Gumball Machine, Conversation Hearts, and Lollipop cut files to help create my layout about how I chose (or “chews”) my little rescue pup! I adopted my dog without having met her beforehand, so it was actually a bit like using a gumball machine and not knowing what “flavour” you’re going to get! Luckily she is the best, as is this Gumball Machine cut file (what a segue), so this cut file was perfect for the story I wanted to tell on this layout.
I started by backing the gumballs with scraps of patterned paper and I used the gorgeous plaid 12x12 Specialty Paper from Truly Grateful to back the base with. I also wanted to have different types of candy scattered around the page, so I cut the Lollipop cut file from white cardstock and I used the different pattern swatches from Paper 14 to cut the hearts out.

I used Paper 06 as my background because I think that this shade of pink might be my new favourite colour! I also used three photos and arranged them in a photo strip design which I think is a really cool way of including multiple photos on a page.

For my title I used the Foam Mini Thickers from Whimsical to spell out ‘I chews you’ because I can never resist a punny title! I also used some of the star Cardstock Stickers and dots from theEpoxy Stickers to add some more colour and whimsy on the page, which was the perfect finishing touch!
