These were all beautiful pages and I love to see everyone using their scissors and making the most of their papers!

I know this is a bit early but I wanted to make sure to get it up there for May 1st! Plus with the NSD crop, you can get started on this early!
We all know patterned paper has been around for a while now but one of my favorite trends I have been noticing is cutting out elements of the paper or using the frame on the exterior to add dimension.
My challenge to you is to cut out an element from a patterned paper. Think beyond using the premade cut out shapes and journal cards and try something new like cutting out the shapes like I did on this layout...

or specific elements like the butterflies on this one...

As usual, you have until the end of May to upload your project and post it to this thread! I will choose a random winner to receive a $5 ACOT gift card. So get those scissors and Xactos out and let's see what you come up with!
