This month our blog hop is focused on love and there are tons of great files available from Samantha on this topic!  I oped to do a layout about my youngest son's first day of life with Daddy.  
I really wanted the Daddy heart to be the focal point of the layout.

First I sized it to an appropriate size for a 12 X 12 layout.

Then I added a circle around it and cut it out in the colors I wanted to use.

One of the things I wanted to try was tucking everything into one level layer - like puzzle pieces. Instead of piling it on top of each other.  So first I assembled the heart. Then the circle (with the heart part already cut out) went right above it.  And then I had one more piece that is the background of my layout (with the circle cut out) that I added on top of that. It created a really different look than Use a whole 12 X 12 topped with a circle, topped with a heart, topped with a word. For starters, it's doesn't weight a ton :)

Supplies Used:
Samantha Walker Studio Files: Daddy heart #44013

Love your Silhouette tutorial, and LOVE your layout! It's a "guy" layout with hearts, which is super hard to do. But you have done it and made it look wonderful!

Such a fun layout! I love how you showed how you can use the negative space in a cutting file and fill it in. I like how you just filled in some of it! I really love this project!
