I saw water, I felt better - is one of my favorite sayings.  This collection lends itself well to layouts about the ocean, lakes, or even the creatures that live there!




Great for everyday moments of your kiddos, too!







Special occasions, a day with friends, or sight seeing adventures - you name it!




Have a wonderful day!

Welcome to the World of Cutie Pie Scraps!
Hey there, lovely friends! I’m so excited to share the magic I’ve been creating just for you. Each of my scrap kits is made with love, joy, and a dash of whimsy—designed to spark creativity and bring smiles to your heart.

DYL: Light Up The Night Collection from Diane, ADB Designs

 

Did you "light up the night" on July 4th with friends and family? Did you see your local fireworks? The Light Up The Night Collection is ideal for Fourth of July parties, picnics, parades, and watching fireworks. But this isn't limited to the USA or Independence Day; it's appropriate for other US holidays and there are word titles for other national holidays: Sweden, Mexico, France and Australia.

The elements are what you'd expect for national holidays! They include frames, stars, ribbons, word art representing several countries, word strips, and, (of course) fireworks, flowers and foliage. The colors are reds, blues, winter white & moss green.

#212 Question/Scrapbooking Prompt(s)

  • Scrap a page about a patriotic holiday event or activity
  • Scrap a heritage page about patriotism

These prompts are ideas to help you get started. I also have a gift for you to help speed your page completion. With this stunning cluster (contributed by my amazing Creative Team Member: Renee) you can finish a page quickly. 

Be sure to keep scrolling for information about additional beautiful gifts from this collection!


I hope you find inspiration from the layouts of my awesome Creative Team. Here are their layouts along with the previews from the collection.

























I am so pleased when I see layouts created with my collections.  I would LOVE to have you share them with me via one or both of my challenge threads in the forum.
