As I promised, the instructions to making this large fall rosette. It is great to hang on the front door on just on your wall.
Materials needed:
2 12x12 solid sheets of paper (same color)
1 12x12 patterned paper
5 large scallop circles 4 ½ inches color of your choice
1 Die-Cut or other large embellishment to go in the center
Optional:
Paper edger punch or patterned scissors
Score board
Distress ink
Tulle
1: Score all 3 papers at each ½ inch. Your score line will run the full length of your paper. You will end up with 23 score lines.
Tip: Score every other line. So score at the ½ inch mark first. Then turn your paper over and score at the inch marks. This will make your paper easier to fold.
2> When cutting you want to cut them so the scored lines are horizontal. Cut both scored 12x12 solid sheets at 6 inches. Making them 6x12.
3> If you want a fancy edge on your larger rosette, this is where you would cut or punch one side of each strip.
4> When cutting you want to cut them so the scored lines are horizontal. Cut the scored patterned paper to make 3 3x12 strips.
5> Now you are going to accordion fold each of your strips.
6> You are going to use all 4 solid strips for the larger rosette and all 3 patterned strips for the smaller rosette.
7> Just follow this link How to Make Rosettes by Jennifer Priest to build your rosettes. Jennifer scores her rosettes at every ¼ inch. For a larger project, the folds at every ½ inch works just as great. We are also going to use the large scalloped circle to sandwich the rosette between two circles before gluing to help keep it flat. One large scalloped on top and one on bottom of each rosette.
8> Next you can ink the rosettes if you would like.
9> If you are placing tulle between the larger and smaller rosette, you would glue it down now. I used 2 colors. I cut strips the length I wanted and glued them to the front of the larger rosette on the scalloped circle. My tulle went all the way around the rosette.
10> After the tulle is glued, glue the last scalloped circle on top or the glued tulle.
11> Glue the smaller rosette on top of the larger rosette.
12> Adhere your die-cut or other large embellishment on top of the scalloped circle of the smaller rosette.
I hope you enjoyed making this project.

Ways to embellish a BOY page.
Are all the flowers and butterflies becoming a bit over whelming to you? Are you struggling to have a more masculine flair for your pages?
Here are some suggestions for your Boy pages.
• Why not add some texture to your layout. How about using a little fabric? Why not try denim, corduroy, burlap, mesh or twine. Add some corrugated paper of cardboard.
• How about some buttons, zippers, or bottle caps?
• Why not embellish with layered circles of felt, staples, arrows, metal stars or swirls? You can also use pinwheels or rosettes.
• Be on the lookout for tiny hinges, keys, watch pieces, and washers to add as well.
I have used dragonflies instead of butterflies on my masculine pages also.
I hope these ideas help you. Please comment and add any other ideas you might have.
Happy Scrapping.

I finished a new scrapbooking page layout today. I used Road Trip Collection from Prima. This scrapbooking layout is great for your summer travel pictures.Supplies used:
2 sheets of American Craft Rouge cardstock
1 sheet of "Open Road" from Prima's Road Trip Collection
1 sheet of "Road Trip" from Prima's Road Trip Collection
1 sheet of "On The Road Again" from Prima's Road Trip Collection
2 journaling note cards from Prima's Road Trip Collection
The raised accent on the 1st page of the layout was created by just cutting the elements on the bottom of the "On The Road Again" from Prima's Road Trip Collection paper. Then I added a little foam tape to give it a raised effect..
The curved bottom boarder, makes a great pocket. This is a perfect place to tuck 2 journaling note cards.
