cute use for the scallop punch....

Yesterday I got my new Stampin Up Scallop circle punch and my upline sent me this link to a cute little ornament made using it. You can find it HERE. I knew I had to try it and it was so easy to make. All you need is your papercutter to score the punches down the middle of them. Of course you need at least eight scallop circle punched out. Then take your snail adhesive and start layering your scallops. Once layered place about a half an inch of red sticky tape to the middle line of your stack. This will hold it closed and also hold your ribbon in the middle. I used a bead and a crimp bead to top mine off. These are so cute.




I have to get to work now I have some people coming tomorrow and the house is a wreck..

EDITED TO ANSWER A QUESTION: I was asked what Snail was so I am going to link it from SU online catty... It can be found Here

PreVSN challenge...

I decided this morning I would try out a preVSN challenge before the kids get up to go to school. Wanted to get my creative juices flowin... This is challenge SEP07VSNPre4. It can be found here. I decided to go with a selection of earth elements colors.



The idea was to take fall colors and create a Christmas card. I had fun with it. I also used the tutorial Beate shared with everyone on Wednesday over on SplitCoastStampers. It can be found here.



Supplies for this card can be found here



Here is a close up of my insert card. I even used a dollar Micheal's stamp on it. I tried so hard to use only current Stampin Up supplies but I failed... Oh well I will have to try another card challenge latter.
