The first theme for October’s scrapbook club was birthday pages made in primary colors.  The Big Shot "Alphabet Simple Letters" has become my favorite alphabet die cut.

The Big Shot "Big Bold Cupcake" sizzlits die cuts were very fun to use.  Crimped the bottom of the cupcake and added brads to the top.

I’ve been wanting to try the Big Shot "Lattice" die for a while.  Glue dots work the best to make them stick to cardstock.

The second theme was Christmas featuring Merry Moments designer series paper, Old Olive, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock.

Embossed words in Iridescent Ice embossing powder and punched with the ornament punch.  Added silver cording on the back held with a brad.

This page features the styled vanilla hodgepodge hardware kit with retired real red striped grosgrain ribbon.

 Again, the embossing was done with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

My Scrapbook Club met this week and made four 12×12 pages.  I will show you the four pages without photo’s and with my Christmas photos.  I tend to take a lot of photo’s and then worry how I’ll get them on my pages.  Page 1:  11 photo’s on it!

Page 2:  7 photo’s on this page.

Page 3:  12 photographs on this page!!

Page 4:  5 photo’s on this page.

I’m pleased that I got 35 photo’s on these four pages.  I love using the large oval punch and the 1 3/4" circle punch to get head shots of people.  It is quick and easy to do too.  I like to blend the small head shot photo’s with my larger photo’s.  Now I just have to do my journaling and then into the cabin scrapbook album they go!

My downline, Amy M., made these two ornaments.  The one on the left was used with the silk flowers from the Pretties kit.  The one on the right was used with circle punches.

Here’s a closeup of the silk flowers.

Here’s a closeup of the circle punches (folded).

It amazes me that people can think up such creative ideas.  Of course, I love copying them!  Okay, that’s it for Christmas posts.
