Hey kids!  It's Cindy for the SBC blog today.  I've got a fun Embossing Plus Cuttlebug folder to share with you today.  TiP:   As you create special fold card bases (i.e. easel, center step, shutter...)make an extra one or two for another time when you are in a hurry. I found this Embossing plus Cuttlebug folder in my stash while re-organizing and had never used it:                                              Embossing plus - cut & emboss - Whimsy I used the center piece that cut out to create the stop for my easel card.  I cut it in half because it just looked way too big!  I sanded the Core'dinations paper for bit of a distressed look.

Here's my first Word Book. I like how it turned out. It's for my cousin's 18th birthday. She loves pink, black and white, but she's is not to foo-foo with ribbons and such. (sorry the pictures are so bad, Santa is suppose to bing me a new camera) I used my SCAL program to weld the letters to the "squares". I used chipboard and various scrapbook papers ie. velum, glitter, embossed. It made such a big difference using textured papers. I you have SCAL or DS, you have to try at least one word book!!!!
