Check out the Scrapbook Heaven gallery this week for some gorgeous creations. We especially loved this adorable layout by Dana. The cute little banner and the adorable clouds make this an eye-catching layout!

Technique: Fussy Cutting

Ever heard the term Fussy Cutting and wondered what it meant? Fussy Cutting refers to cutting out a specific image from patterned paper and using it as a seperate focus. Ready to see Fussy Cutting in action? The November Petite Kit has a gorgeous leaf paper you can see ont he bottom of this layout:

After I cut the paper in half to use on this layout, I still had a half sheet left which I fussy cut several different leaves from for this card:

Fussy Cutting is a great technique to use when you've purchased paper you love but don't have any coordinating embelishments. By cutting out specific images you create your own accents.
