PICTURE OVERLOAD

Hi Everyone

Another lovely day .. .. .. but it is a sign the weekend is nearly upon us though because our weatherlady is now saying it won't be so good over the next few days!!  Shame!!!

I got a few orders done today and then allowed myself a play with some of my goodies from yesterday.

Before I started my orders I did just cut and stick a few of the Tim Holtz Rosettes .. .. but it wasn't as easy as it could be.  Simply because I didn't have any extended cutting plates doh!!! 

But necessity is the mother of invention and I managed by cutting half of the die .. .. turning it round and then cutting the other half!!  Tee hee!!  Love them!!!

Couldn't wait to try out my Scor-pal out either so I decided to combine the two and this is what I made (prepare for photograph overload).

Sorry but it needed all the photographs to make sense of what I had made.  (Shame my paper is up-side down on the front - only just noticed LOL!!!).~

This used:

Sizzix:  Tim Holtz Mini Paper Rosettes
Backing Papers:  GCD Studios "Ella Blue"
Scor-Pal
Martha Stewart Punch:  Valentine Lace
Woodware Circle Punch

Hero Arts:  "CL375" Big Flowers Pattern  (for the leaves on the box lid)
Penny Black:  "3849E" Birthday Dreams

Ribbon from the Stash Box

This could have actually been a snippet make for Sunday as it used up lots of small pieces of paper.  I love this Ella Blue stack and have saved the tiniest pieces as you can tell from some of the ones used here!!  LOL!!!

There are lots of patterns and projects on the internet for using with your Scor Pal and this is where I got my little card design from.  It is only small and when folded up only measures 9cms square (get me going metric in my old age). 

You can find the card instructions here as I am sure you could make this even without the board (but I have tweeked the instructions a little to include the little pocket for putting some birthday pennies into.

The box I made using the Scor-pal again but without a pattern this time.  I just based it on the size of my card .. .. but I am sure there would be a project template somewhere.

Oh I am so excited about all the things I will be able to use my board for.  I still haven't tried an envelope for my awkward sized card yet though.  Might have a go at that tomorrow.

So now I have given you photograph overload I will go and have my bath whilst Hubby prepares the Friday night culinary delights.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Love
