Plus Sign Digital Cuts

I've been having so much fun using my Silhouette to cut layout backgrounds this month. The layout I want to share today was inspired by the Scrapbook Circle Here's the Story Digital Cuts that came with the kit.

I loved the random plus sign square and enlarged it to fill a 12 X 12 page to use at the background on my layout.

At first I thought that I'd fill in each of the plus signs with different papers from behind, but it just felt like too many patterns spread randomly around the page. Instead I ended up taking all of the patterned papers that I was going to use behind the plus signs and clustered them around the photos. There were still a lot of fun patterns on the page, but it felt better all in one place rather than spread across the page.

For Valentine's Day this year, were got together with one of our close friend couples and the guys cooked the girls a fancy dinner in the quiet comfort of our backyard. It was perfect. I hardly took any pictures, but I had a couple and definitely wanted to record this memory. For the journaling, I used the sticker tabs and layered a few on the page as a journaling spot. I'm happy to have this story documented!
