Hi there! Over on the Paper Issues blog it's time for a new Cut It Up challenge! This month is a wonderful free star background cut file designed by the talented Stacie.

I've used Shimelle's gorgeous Little by Little collection and a photo of my 17 year old son. 

I'll admit, when I first saw the Little by Little collection I wasn't that impressed, it seemed too cutesy for me. However, the more I used it, the more I loved it, and I've even ordered more now I've used up the first lot! 

I'm a massive fan of bold stripes on scrapbook papers, and this one seemed to go beautifully with the star cut file.

I tried not to go too cutesy on this page, I don't think my son would have appreciated it, but I couldn't resist adding those gorgeous bears!

I love the thickers too, they're so bright and colourful, they cheer up any page.
