Big Shot Mini Scallop Scrapbook

This mini scrapbook was inspired by a demonstration shown at the Minneapolis Regional. All pages and covers were created using the Scallop Circle die and the Big Shot. The front and back covers are protected by a layer of the new think Window Sheets which are available in the Occasions mini catalog. These are extra thick and do not easily bend which is perfect for this purpose. Next the front and back covers were created using the white backing from the designer series paper (DSP) packs. Don't throw that piece away when you are done with your DSP! There are so many great uses for that stuff. The cover was embelished using the SU! exclusive Billboard decorative strip die. This die includes both the upper and lower case alphabets so one strip of real red cardstock ran through gave me all the letters I needed for my title (thanks sista Lee Ann!!!) Next there are 8 whisper white pages inside. Total I had 6 cranks through the Big Shot and I have a mini scrapbook with 16 pages ready to fill with fun memories of an upcoming vacation. How simple! The whole pile was punched using the cropadile and clipped together with a ring binder. An assortment of SU! ribbons decorates that binder.
You will notice I have a great Mickey shaped punch both on the front and back covers. It is not SU! but absolutely perfect for this project! Both the punch and the great Disney themed printed paper used on the back were gifts from friends (Thanks ladies!!!) and will be put to good use.
Oh and one last thing - notice the perfect layered circles of Real Red on the front and the printed paper on the back? Those were created with my other favorite toy - the Circle Scissor Plus. Great toy - SUPER easy to use too. Love it!! ~Heidi
