Having Fun with Free Files

I have been downloading lots of free cut files for my Silhouette ever since National Scrapbook Day and I got to play along with the challenge at Chic Tags to use their arrow diecuts! (Ok, we'll, it was to use any arrows, but you could use their cut files too) I loved this challenge! I even cut the FREE chevron arrow shape from the Chic Tags store and sewed them on the background of my page.

I used the My Girl collection again from Echo Park. I mixed some of the colorful patterns with some scraps I've had laying around in my scrap tray for a while. It worked pretty well! I thought it would look a little better than using just the papers in the one collection. I think it looks a lot less "matchy matchy" this way. 

Only one week and a day till graduation! I have half of my speech written... Gotta finish it either today or tomorrow. :)

P.S. Sorry these pictures are blocky. I updated my blogger app on my iPad and for some reason it uploads my pictures all blocky looking... :(

In other news, I have a tutorial up at Pretty Little Studio today! Here's a peek:
