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.

One of my downline, Autumn, attended my recent Halloween class.  She changed one project from a Halloween theme to an autumn theme.  She used the Big Shot "Bag with Scallops" die cut to make the six bookmark look-a-like bases.  She used the Big Shot "Alphabet Simple Letters" to spell out her name.  The Scallop Punch, 1 3/8" punch and 1 1/4" punch and the Falling Leaves stamp set were also used.  Don’t you love the new In-Colors of cardstock, ribbon and ink:  Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Soft Suede?  Great job Autumn!

My friend, Karla, recently had a beautiful baby girl.  It was time to make a purse-size brag book/scrapbook for the new mom.  I love using the Sizzix Top Note Die Cut to make these.  I embellished some of the pages and texturized some of the pages.  I love the colors of pink and brown together!

[hmm--where did that black string in the photo come from?]

 I was so excited to design these Halloween pages.  I used the Batty for You stamp set,  the Alphabet Simple Letters die cuts, the Two Tags die cut, and the Pumpkin #4 Sizzlits die.

 These scrapbook pages feature 3 of the new In-Colors:  Dusty Durango, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry in the textured cardstock.  I used the Sizzix Leaves #2 die cut, Texture Plates Kit #4 and Naturally Serif Sizzlets alphabet decorative strip die.

Let me know if you have any questions on how these pages were made or if you want to order the supplies to make them.
