PARTY ANIMALS!

While playing with Moose You, it quickly became clear that Mr. Moose needed to accessorize. I borrowed Lisa W's Crab and Company to dress him up. I felt like I did when I was younger playing with my paper dolls, but I think a hat really does make a difference!

CATALOG COPY!

This card I copied right out of the catalog! Boy, did that make it quick and simple to make.

SUCH A DEER!

This little deer from Moose You was too adorable not be Rudolph! I really think the snowflake Cuttlebug folder adds a lot of texture and makes this card a whole lot less simple.

ARE YOU STICKY??

My DL, Michelle, mentioned that the procupine in Moose You would make a great post-it-note pad. And, in my never-ending endeavor to get rid of even more coasters, I decided that I NEEDED to make a coaster post-it-note pade holder with it. I'm not too good with the camera (obviously), but the words say "stuck on you".

PHOTOS FOR MAKING TAG-PUNCH-STAR

Many of you have been asking me about how to make the tag-punch star. Here are photos of how to do this. First, punch your small tag punch eight times. Then punch around your small tag punch with your large tag punch eight times. This will give you eight thin tag frames. Assemble the first four tag frames on some cardstock (vellum or patterned paper) with the sides of the top of the frames touching (glue these onto the cardstock~~refer to photo one.

Then adhere the next four tag frames on top of the first layer of tag frames, slightly offsetting them~~refer to photo two.

Trim around the "star points"~~refer to photo three.

Now you have your tag-punch star! This can be used on a card, as an ornament, package topper.... the possibilities are endless for useing this awesome star. Get creative and have some fun. If you NEED to order the punches, I would be happy to help you out.

My scrapbooking gals love my Scrapbooking Made Easy classes! I design three two-page 12x12 layouts and post them to my website; you pick which ones you want to make at class; you come to class and everything is all cut and prepped and ready for you, and everyone is amazed at how much they can get done in two hours.
