Be The Light Mission Themed Scrapbook Layout

Today I'm sharing this layout that features a cut file created by my lovely friend Ashley at 

The Cut Shoppe.  BE THE LIGHT is perfect for mission themed scrapbook pages.  I'm using this file to spotlights my teen's most recent summer mission trip but it would also be appropriate for encouragement themed pages, as well.  I also chose papers and embellishments from the Jillibean Soup Spoonful of Soul collection, which is available now at Scrapbook.com.  Scroll down for a few creative details!

This was the first time that I have hand stitched on paper.  Let me tell, you I learned a few lessons!  Thanks to some lovely crafty friends, I learned to punch all the holes first, using a paper piercer.  I was so happy to have the Sizzix Stampers Secret Weapon on hand.  The foam pad and piercer set got the job done quickly!

Attached to the cut file is a light bulb.  I took the outline from the file, cut with my Cricut Explore, and laid it on top of my photo, tracing with a white gel pen.  Then I trimmed the photo and popped it up with foam circles, along with popping up the rest of my cut file.  By the way, behind the popped up cut file is another cut file called HEART BURST , which comes in two sizes.  My layout is sized at 8.5 x 11 inches, however I used the 12x12 inch and trimmed the edges.

If you look closely, you can also see the white cardstock in the background, splattered with spritzed distress ink.  Just another extra touch.  I love making splatters!

The journaling was typed out on my desktop computer and printed on Neenah cardstock, then layered with more Spoonful of Soul papers and popped up for dimension.

There's an entire sheet of die cut elements included with the Spoonful of Soul collection.  I used some of those as well, along with epoxy stickers.
