This is another of the projects we made at the September stamp club in Thornton. The picture on the 6x6 scrapbook page is my youngest neice. I have to brag. The picture was taken last year with her wearing the pink flamingo costume her Aunt (that would be me) made her. The bottom of the page is made using the new Haunting Jumbo wheel from the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog. The pumpkin is from the Autumn Harvest stamp set. The idea is one given to demonstrators on the demonstrator website, but I made it into a 6x6 page instead of a 8-1/2"x8-1/2" page. This card was the final project from club.

Trim off the lower 1/2" tab on the far left only with paper snips. Place the piece back into the paper trimmer, having the cutting blade in place, the 1/2" tab along the left side and the top ...

I'm not sure if I'm done with this card yet. It seems like it still needs something. However, I am very pleased with how the stamped image of the cupcakes turned out. I watercolored it, and then used the Tombow Multi-purpose glue and the pink chunky glitter. It really gives the cupcakes some glitz! The lace edge was made using the new scallop edge punch and the 1/16" punch.
