Tonight I had a scrapbooking class and the title was Fall back into Scrapbooking. One, it had been a while since I had a scrapbook class and two we are drawing near the Fall season here in Colorado.  At tonights class I really tied in the Big Shot to show just how AWESOME this tool is!!  Let’s talk about these layouts!

The Big Shot had a lot of uses tonight. Here are a list of the dies I used: Scallop Circle #2, Leaves #2, Go Go Boots, Serif Essentials, Top Note Bigz Die, and Scallop Circle.  I just loved how these leaves came out.  We used the Sanded background and then sponged each leaf and rolled them between our fingers to give them a little life.  The designer paper is Hawaii Papaya.  Such beautiful paper and the colors are just stunning.  I also enjoyed using the Top Notes Die as a journaling block.  LOVE it!

Here you can see a close up of the leaves.  Some of them looked REAL. 

This is the second layout.  Again, lots of leaves on the right side of the layout.  I love using the Serif Essentials Alphabet for scrapbooking.  I actually cut chipboard letters and then layered the Designer Paper over them.  Here is a secret on my chipboard.  I am using Mat Board that you can get at your local FRAME store.  It cuts beautifully with your Big Shot.  I used my Go Go Boots dies for the 07′.  So fun!!

  Here is a close up of the Scallop Circle! I just matted these on a larger circle.
