Scrap-lings~

I hadn't heard of these before yesterday and was sooooo tickled when I opened a package from a dear friend, Cindy AKA StarlitStudio, and she had enclosed one of these stampin' morsels! I quickly called her, squealing, you can ask her! LOL She directed me to the Hero Arts blog where she was introduced to them. You can find them here, designer is Shari Carroll. Now her's are a wee bit more elaborate, I had one hour and 16 to make, so simplify was the name of the game. Aren't these just the cutest things?! Anyway, I wanted to leave a little something at the setting for each guest tomorrow night at Stamp Nite and when I saw Cindy's cute little scrap-ling, I just knew this was what I had to make. Mine are a tad wider than the examples Shari shows, at 1.5" x 4.25," and just so dang cute, did I say that they are the cutest thing?!

I know ATCs have a huge following, but me, I prefer the Scrap-lings!

Stamps: SU! Merry & Bright, Cute Converse; Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip, Paper: Solar White by Neenah, Patterned Paper: SU! Dashing and unknown piece from my stash for tree, CHF Paper Pack for snow, Other: Silver grosgrain, Stickles, Dimensionals

And here is the final project for tomorrow night - I was waiting on the Nestabilities Label dies which came in yesterday's mail. :)

Stamps: SU! Merry & Bright, CHF Christmas Expressions, Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip, Paper: SU! Bali Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White; Designer Series Paper: Dashing, Other: SU! mini brads, Stardust Gelly Roll Pen, Dimensionals

Have a terrific rest of the evening.

OMGosh...those are stinkin' adorable. I can't wait to try them!! I always cringe at the "waste" when making square cards. This is just brilliant!

Hi Valerie,
I figured that I should stop by and see what you've been up to. Cute stuff! I'll have to try these Scrap-lings since I'm not a huge ATC fan either.

And those label dies are the coolest! I need to get the first set - I have the second.
