My base is Basic Gray card stock. I cut a piece of Baja Breeze card stock next. I took the Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel; inked it in Baja Breeze and wheeled it across the bottom of the page. I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock for the journaling block.

I cut a piece of Not Quite Navy card stock and glued it so it over lapped the Whisper White card stock. I used the Decorative Label Punch to punch out a piece of Whisper White card stock. I then used the Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker to write "Cherish" on my tag.

Today I am sharing a 6 x 6 page I created to play along with a color challenge for my Frosty Kisses Class. I also am using it for Stampin' Addicts Scrapbook Challenge this week as well. This weeks challenge is to use the Scallop Square Die on your layout some how. This page uses two items from the Occasions Mini Catalog; these items are available until April 30th so be sure to place your order soon!

My base is a piece of 6 x 6 Whisper White card stock. I cut a piece of Poppy Parade card stock. I used the Mat Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce holes around the edges of the Poppy Parade card stock. I cut a piece of Blushing Bride card stock to cover across the width of the page. I used the Mat Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce a row of holes across the bottom of the Blushing Bride card stock.

Tip~ Use two colors of card stock and make one color a smaller square and place it towards the top. This will help balance out the page with the colors.

I wrapped a piece of 1/4 Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon around the Blushing Bride card stock. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso/White Bakers Twine around the Whisper White grosgrain. Using the Big Shot and the Scallop Square Die; I die cut out a piece of Early Espresso card stock. I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock and glued it to the scallop square. I used the Mat Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce holes in each scallop.

Tip~ You will notice to tie in the paper-piercing I incorporated it into the Scallop Square, by doing this it balanced out the paper-piercing on the page.

I placed Stampin' Dimensionals onto the back of the Scallop Square and attached to the center of the page. The Scallop Square Die makes great photo mats!! I punched out a piece of Poppy Parade card stock using the Full Heart Punch. I took the stamp from Grateful Greetings Stamp Set; inked in Early Espresso and stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. I glued the saying to the Poppy Parade heart. I then added a Twitter Patted Designer Button. I attached it with a Stampin' Dimensional over the corner of the scallop square. I then added a bow made from the Early Espresso/White Bakers Twine.

Tip~ Red colors are very vibrant colors; when working with red colors you want to balance them out so it doesn't take the focus away from the picture. I made the Blushing Bride card stock larger and then placed the scallop square in the center of the layout to tone it down. Then to tie the red back into the page I added just a little on the bottom by punching the heart out.

Supplies Used~
Stamp~ Grateful Greetings
Ink~ Early Espresso
Paper~ Whisper White, Early Espresso, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride
Acc.~ Big Shot, Scallop Square Die, Full Heart Punch, 1/4 Whisper White Grosgrain, Early Espresso/White Bakers Twine, Twitter Patted Designer Buttons, Mat Pack, Paper-Piercing Tool, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots

I hope you have enjoyed today's Scrapbook Saddle Up Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

Directions~

I wanted my candle to look wintry once it was completed so I went with a Vanilla candle. This is so simple to create that I didn't do a video for it.

1. Pick a candle any size and color.

2. Cut a piece of Glimmer Paper Silver 1" Wide and the length will depend on the candle size you have. Wrap it around the bottom and attache the ends of the Glimmer Paper together with Sticky Strip.

3. I used the Big Shot and the Leaves #2 Die. I die cut out leaves in Pool Party, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. I did enough to go around the candle. Again it will depend on what size your candle is. I then ran each leaf through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I sponged Soft Suede ink onto the Very Vanilla and Soft Suede leaves. I sponged Pool Party ink onto the  Pool Party leaves. I stuck each leaf on with glue dots. I then ran a piece of 3/8 Very Vanilla Velvet Stitched Ribbon around the bottom of the leaves, I attached the ends with Sticky Strip. I took one of the Spice Cake Designer Buttons (Pool Party) and attached lengths of 3/8 Very Vanilla Velvet Stitched Ribbon that I folded over to create a bow. I used the Big Shot and the Northern Frost Die Strip to die cut out one snowflake in Very Vanilla. I sponged the edges with Soft Suede and then attached to the center of the button. I added a Jewels Basic Rhinestone to the center of the snowflake.I then sprayed the candle and decorations with Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer.

4. For the mat I used the Big Shot and the Scallop Circle Die; I die cut out a piece in Soft Suede. I then ran it through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I sponged Soft Suede ink all over.

Now you have a decorated center piece or to place anywhere. I got the candle at a dollar store. This can be made for any time of the year or to match some of your decor in your home! It also would make a great gift for a friend, coworker and etc. The total cost to create this once finished was $3!!!!

Supplies Used~
Ink~ Soft Suede, Pool Party
Paper~ Soft Suede, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Glimmer Paper Silver
Acc.~ Big Shot, Scallop Circle Die, Leaves #2 Die, Northern Frost Strip Die,Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, 3/8 Very Vanilla Velvet Stitched Ribbon, Spice Cake Designer Buttons, Jewels Basic Rhinestones, Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer, Sponge Dauber, Glue Dots, Sticky Strip
