Hi stamping friend... I am so glad you have come for a visit. This is my scrapbook club pages for March. I used the Newsprint Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin' Up! as the actual pages. The background is vanilla, so I used Very Vanilla cardstock for the borders. I cut Real Red and Basic Black cardstock into 1 1/2" strips (2 red and 2 black). I ran these strips through the Big Shot using the Tasteful Trims die. I cut all 4 at one time. It is really great that the Big Shot cuts so many layers at one time. (In quilting, I can cut 8 layers at once...a real time saver.) I cut some black and red cardstock for my pictures and layered it on the DSP. I added a 1/4' Basic Black grosgrain ribbon to the second page and added some of Stampin' Up!'s Basic Pearls. They look so pretty. My flower on page 1 is made in Real Red and the new Fun Flowers die for the Big Shot.I used all three flowers in the layer, misted lightly and crumpled up, then allowed to dry. The leaves were cut using the Island Floral die. I folded the leaves in half lengthwise and ran them through the crimper. WOW that looks good. I put a dimensional in between each layer of flower to raise the petals. The other flowers are made with the Paper Flowers in the current catalog. I sponged them in Real Red and added buttons tied with linen thread using glue dots. Happy Birthday is a die purchased online. I hope you love the pages. My clubs meet this week and we will be making these pages. Why not join one of my scrapbook clubs and make some pages with us. Also, I am having a Open Crop/Scrapbook day on March 18, 2011 in my Stamp Room. Email me if you are interested and I will give you the details. Blessings, Martha
