Hey hi friends! I hope 2025 is treating you well so far. I had so much fun pulling out Paige’s classic Truly Grateful collection for my current Design Team layout 🩷.

It features Paige’s, ‘LOVE’ cut file. It’s available in the Love Bundle with 11 other fabulous files or individually here. I’ve paired Paige’s Love cut file with her classic, Truly Grateful collection. If like me, you bought plenty, you’ll probably still have some in your stash! This beautiful collection, originally released in 2019, is available in full at the AC Digitals Store. 
After right-sizing the cut file, I welded 4 together. The feature is available either on your Cricut or Cameo. I backed it with one sheet of, Truly Grateful Paper 9 (top of collage above). It was perfect for the multitude of colour throughout! For the background, I back-stitched Truly Grateful Paper 24 (bottom of collage above) with all six strands of co-ordinating DMC Floss. It took about three days. I never choose the exact colour as the paper. Choose one or two shades darker for contrast.
Notice how the primary focus of my layout runs on a diagonal? That’s a common layout technique that helps the viewer look at your design in it’s entirety. I also use 3D Foam tape to pop up embellishments. It creates lots of levels for texture. It’s more interesting than flat, don’t you think?

Finally, I added dots of gold Stickles, thread and gems for the sparkle I crave! You’ll spot them here, there, and everywhere 😁

Thanks so much for your visit! If you have any questions, ask away! I catch up with you in comments. See you again soon 🩷 K

Thanks so much Lavinia. The photos are my best friend, Nadine and that young girl is her daughter Anna! She’s so sweet and an avid reader. So much smart than me at her age 💗
