Let it snow!

Ok, first we should establish that when it comes to scrapbooking, I am the worst mother in the world. Really. The only time I scrapbook is for samples. LOL So here it is, my yearly attempt at using pictures of my children to entice people to buy stuff. (See, I told you I was the worst mother!)

My husband's boss very kindly allowed us to use her cabin last winter. (I stayed home, that's why I'm not in the pics!) It was one of the snowiest winters ever, and the kids had a blast. Oh, Dad did, too! Did you notice the not-so-subtle use of Big Shot dies???? Didja? I bought that snowflake die last winter, so I was thrilled to see it in the new SU catalog of Sizzix dies. I used the snowflake die on some sparkly white felt from Michael's. The alphabet is the Cuttlebug Red Tag Sale alpha (don't have an SU alpha die yet).

Shelli's Die Cut Projects

If you weren't at Convention, I'm not sure you can fathom the wild cheering that took place when Shelli announced a partnership with Sizzix. Sah-weet!

Here are some of the projects she demonstrated using the new Stampin Up dies. Sorry some of the photos aren't that great! You had to shoot and move along!



These are the projects she did for her grandson's birthday party. I wonder if she'd adopt me???? Masks use the new SU SIzzix Pennant die. The basket is from the SU Basket and Blooms die.





These are quiet book pages she made for her grandchildren. I {heart} quiet books, so it was fun to imagine making more with my fancy schmancy new Big Shot and dies. :-) Probably be a few years, though. Not really in the market till there are grandchildren for me!




So beautiful! One of Shelli's daughters is expecting her first girl, and these are the shower decorations/favors and the nursery decor. The flowers are made of fabric and lace, all cut with dies in the Big Shot. To the left you can see part of the ruffled apron Shelli sewed *from the Baskets and Blooms dies* if you can even imagine! I would never have thought of such a thing! Along the right side, you can see some of the Christmas decorations made from the Pennant die.
