top 9 in 2016.

Every year for the past few years, there's an app that I download at the end of December to see my "top 9" liked photos on Instagram. I love seeing these top nine photos. I always do an end of year review post on NYE on Facebook too with random things like the number of books I read, miles I ran, or times I had my hair dyed. I guess I just like closure.

Anyway, I've had this 2016 top nine printed for probably eight months. Finally tonight I decided to scrap it and I was inspired by Sara and Khristina's Re-discover Your Stash challenge on Facebook. We're trying to use up our stashes - and I used 20 of these little labels/tags from Elle's Studio!

So this started with me trying to use a cut file. I have the original Cricut Expression and I was able to convert some free cut files to PNG using Silhouette Studio but I cannot get my Cricut to connect to my laptop so I can't cut them out! I literally have spent hours attempting this and I'm defeated. So I printed this heart circle and fussy cut it, but you can't really tell that it's hearts anymore at this point. Basically I decided to try to cover most of it up because it's just embarrassing now.

I layered all these die cuts and labels, added some stamping to a few of them, and called it a day! Thanks for looking :)
