My Family Tree with All the Write Stuff

The front cover of this scrap tin was done with Razzleberry lemonade DP and embellishments from the Write Stuff The inside of the tin is with the designer paper from The Write Stuff along with emebllishments

Punches and die cuts are super handy for the embellishing process on my scrap tins.

Especially if you are just usng DP and not a scrap kit, you have to get crafty!!
The Big Shot what did we ever do before it!! I love seeing all the creative ways I can use to it to embellish my tins along with their friends the punches! SU has the best punches ever!!

The inside of the tin leaves lots of room for customized pictures with adjusted heigth and width of less than 3x4 which is the measurement of the solid card stock.

OOOOH La La It's Noveau Chic

I absolutely love this paper more than the last I said I loved sooo much!!

This is my style !

Above is a box I learned from Dawn O.'s blog, you use (2) #2 boxes die cuts and put them together.

Then there is a 6x6 flip scrap book, with the lovely new techniques I learned with the top note cut into this lovely shape on the Front with My Kind and Dear Friend embossed in black on the top with filigree brads at top and bottom from MY Kind and Dear Friend Laurie from up North!

Check out her site at http://stampingupnorthwithlaurie.blogspot.com/ for a quick tutorial on the top note transformation.

Then the NEW wedding favor box die in black has been embossed with the Swirly stamp in Wedding Sweet in silver. This die cut takes a sheet of 12x12 paper! It looks like you can do it with 11 but you cannot! Remember when ordering new die cuts specially extended ones to read everything underneath the definition in the catty and get all the supplies you need to use it. the new extended crease pads are available NOW!

If you are having trouble with your matchbox die instead of using you crease pad on the top just sandwich between your acrylics. I have heard it comes out better, you can also put a sheet of cardstock on the bottom of the die cut to make the sandwich tighter and it will help cut or make your cuts/impressions more defined.

This is what the flip scrap album looks like in the inside. this paper takes no thinking at all with the coordination everything matches and comes together beautifully!!
This is so beautiful but it takes alot of DP!!

Hope you enjoy it! Give me your comments!!

Guess who will be on this cruise! Yep, my upline and dear friend Lisa Curcio!

Lisa has been a huge inspiration in my business. She has taught me perseverance and patience.

But most of all she has taught me that it is so much more than a business. It is about the friendships you develop along the way.
She has been an SU demonstrator for 10 years and lost her up line early on. So she has dedicated herself to provide a strong downline support for her girls in

Animal Stories in Tall Tales

I think this card turned out so cool. It is a horse right, something about the way the horse has it head kinda of cocky, like us as teens and young adults alittle cocky. Then the sentiment" It Takes Courage to Grow Up and Be Who You Really Are" Something about it just struck me that when we finally get to the realization and find that courage which only can come from spiritual growth by then we have found a little humility and our head isn't quite as cocky anymore. This is a pocket card, with Old Olive base and Tall Tales DP, whisper white sentiment punched out with the modern punch stamped with Crushed Curry
"its good to dream" from Razzle Dazzle.
I used the eyelet border punch and wrapped Saffron twill ribbon around the flap and adhered it down. On the sides I used small silver brads to hold the sides together using a 1/16" punch .
On the insert I used a silver eyelet and set it with the cropadile and ran a bit of chocolate twill thru the top. The base is saffron top note with a white top note minus the perforation to give it that layered affect.
I hope you enjoy this card and the sentiment behind it.
