Weekly Challenge | CeliseMcL

This week, our member Celise (CeliseMcL), wants you to use cut files in your layouts! In her layout below, she used elements from the Pop Art Scrapbook kit and Brimfield cut files. Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure to visit Celise to see more of her work and keep up with her.


I fell in love with the Brimfield cut files so I had to get them. After creating the dies on my Silhouette I was intrigued by the pattern left behind on the black card stock. I layered strips of colorful patterned paper behind the negative dies to create a striking background for this wedding photo. My challenge is to create a background for your project using the negative die cuts. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Now it’s your turn to create a project based on Celise's challenge! Share your new project for the challenge in the Studio Calico gallery (add the hashtag #SCchallenge to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by September 21st to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop! This week's challenge winner will be announced in the September 26th Layout of the Week post.

    Pretty layout @CeliseMcL. I really like your use of script font for the die cuts.

    I don't use digital cut files, but I still wanted to play! So I just used a manual die cut but still put patterned paper behind the negative. Celise's layout made me think of a paper I had with a bird on it. http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/174045-little-birdie-birthday-card
