Weekends by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hi everyone, Jana Maiwald-McCarthy back again and I have a new layout to share! For this page I used Paige's Unicorn cut file and her Whimsical + Pick-Me-Up collections.

I cut the Unicorn from white cardstock and backed the open spots with Paper 03, Paper 08, Paper 11, and Paper 17 as well as Paper 04 and Paper 11 from Pick-Me-Up. I wanted to have the same colors on my background paper so I used some Shimmerz Paints and watercolors. I started with the light pink and ended up in the turquoise. I really love how the Unicorn looks on top of it. I used 3D squares for the cut file to raise it up. The pictures I am scrapping here are four small ones of me and my little one. They are colored and in black & white. I fussy cut some matching embellishments from different patterned papers from Whimsical such as flowers from Paper 14, butterflies from Paper 21, and some random words from Paper 18.

I tried to use the same colored elements as the hair and the mixed media in the background. This turned out great and I can't tell you how much I love to use this color-on-color technique! Some flowers from the Floral Die Cuts were also added to the mix of pretty stuff. There was room for more things so I grabbed some of the Chipboard Stickers, flowers and hearts from the Sticker Book, and Puffy Stickers. 

I really hope this inspires you to create a magical project soon! Be sure to check out Paige's cut files for ideas and inspiration. I always get ideas and I always find a perfect cut file for my next project! Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you all a great day!
