Hi everyone! Welcome to the {a flair for buttons} and The Cut Shoppe blog hop. We are bringing you inspiration using the limited edition flair that is available in the {a flair for buttons} shop and the awesome cut files from The Cut Shoppe.
I used the Hawaii state cut file along with the limited addition flair for my layout.
I paired a 12x12 photo with the cut file on another piece of 12x12 cardstock and backed each island with different patterned paper, embellished and then added my journaling.

i like how you put the patterned paper behind your cutouts, you always see it that way with the smaller cuts it was nice to see it with a larger cut.

I love your layout, such a clever idea to do the Hawaii cutout! I'm thinking of doing the same with Italy for my Europe album, thanks for the inspiration!

I had to actually stop and look for a while to figure out what the cut was. Brilliant of you to make me linger. Very well done too. I just love how each island has a different paper.
