I made a tray!

Hi! I've been crafting but nothing worth posting about until now...behold - the tray!!

This is something I wanted to do for a very long time and finally was able to accomplish! The tray itself is a 7 Gypsies printers tray. The insides are from a kit designed and sold by Kerri Bradford. I absolutely LOVE her style. Recently Kerri had a giveaway on her blog and I won $50 worth of die cuts/kits from her store so I was able to grab this kit along with a lot of other amazing stuff. It is called "This & That: Family". I chose it because it isn't holiday themed so I can leave it out all the time.

The kit contains the printable background elements and the cut files for your digital die cut machine. I own the Silhouette and would recommend it highly. It also includes a photo template for use in Photoshop as a clipping mask. Everything is already sized perfectly so all you do is print, cut, assemble and you are done! Kerri's got the links from her store to the blog posts which give all the details on how to use the kit. She also has video and written tutorials on her blog. This was really helpful to me in learning to use the clipping masks in Photoshop.

This piece has taken center stage in our living room and has even inspired a new addition to the color palette around here! Let me know if you have any questions.

Until next time,
Melissa
