    CATCHING UP WITH...

    pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. So sit back, start scrolling your mouse - and enjoy!

    From last night's Scrapy Land LIVE! show on "Tea Party Purses & Paper Medallions"...

    This is the size and the score-measurements, if you don't have a Scor-Pal. If you do have a Scor-Pal just follow the directions in the video. Otherwise, these measurements will help you make the score lines with a scoring blade. The accordion-fold ends are 3.5"x 3.5", scored at 1/4" all the way across.

    These are the pictures of what we did last night...

    Here  I used the Martha Stewart Arched Lattice Border Punch, the QK Wave Edges die and the Scrapy Land Exclusive Western die. I also accented the pattern on the boot with a gold Atyou Spica Glitter pen.

    Here I used the same Martha Stewart border punch, the QK Ric Rac Edges die and the Scrapy Land Exclusive Buttons die.

    Here is what the entire 12" border Buttons Exclusive looks like...

    It has a "placket" that is 12" long, and one that is 5.5" long - perfect for pages OR cards. There are also enough different styles of buttons to make everybody happy.

    Here is a project I've started - that I shared last night...

    This is the 12" placket that has had the stitching highlighted with a White Signo Pen - this works PERFECTLY. You just trace over each of the little cut lines with the tip of the pen. Instant white stitching! The stitching around each button hole cuts separately, as you can see here, which gives the finished piece so much detail. Just adorable!

    The final Exclusive I showed you last night was a finished project...

    a goofy little card I made up for a friend of mine. {She's been acting a little "devilish" lately, and needs a kick in the pants. I figured sending one via the US Postal service was the safest way to do it!} LOL I used the Scrapy Land Exclusive Smileys die, the QK Beads embossing folder, QK Paper Doll font and QK 2x2 Vote/Check Mark die.

    I am seriously loving this new Exclusive. There are probably thousands of face combinations you could come up with. In fact, I've put my kids on the project of making up new ones. 

    Here is a look at the doublekutz die...

    as you can see, TONS of eyes, mouths, eyebrows, hands, and accessories. So many options - this one is going to be very popular and wildly versatile!

    That's enough pictures for tonight. This particular band mom is one pooped-puppy. 

    Dani is back at the Scrapy Land warehouse and orders from the CHA sale have started shipping. He also announced this afternoon that he has tracking numbers for the QK Birds and the Bees release, the Special Delivery Gift Sets AND all nine of the newest Scrapy Land Exclusives.

    WOOT WOOT! It's official ladies, let the stalking of the UPS trucks begin.

    I'LL BE UP BRIGHT AND EARLY...

    tomorrow, because Thursday we start 2 weeks of camp.

    {And while scrap-camp sounds heavenly, this is marching band camp. LOL!}

    I promise to post last night's LIVE! video, and pictures from the projects after lunch today. But for now - Dani wanted you to be able to get some more info on the Spellbinders Grand Calibur.

    If you have questions about anything shown here, please leave a comment and I'll get everything answered when I get back this afternoon.

    Back inside, where it's cool!

    Until then!
