Saturday Surprise!

Our Special surprise today is a Guest Designer! Nanne Harry from Nanne's Creations and SOUS has graciously accepted our offer to be a Guest Designer on the Cuttlebug Blog! Although Nanne is not new to scrappin' in any way.... She is a beginner Cuttlebug'er... I have followed Nanne for a very long time... Her designs are absolutely BEAUTIFUL... and I get great inspiration from her personally! I hope she will inspire you all to create something beautiful as well. So I hope all of you will give Nanne a great big welcome!

"My name is Nanné, I am 38 years old. I am a wife to my scrap supporting husband and we have three wonderful children (Amber 20, Aaron 16 and Adam 15) that are growing up way too fast.
I have been scrapping for about 3 years now and since I bought my Cricut and Design Studio software back in 2008, it really has become more of a passion than just a hobby. I confess, I am a paper addict. Any brand, any print, any time.. :O) and a layout isn't complete till it has a flower on it some where...
I find inspiration from all of the wonderful ladies that I have had the pleasure of meeting since I started scrapping.."

So.... Are you all ready to see Nanne's work? Voila!

Beautiful don't you think? I never would have thought to use the bloom dots embossing folder on the clouds... but its perfect! Now you all can see why I am so amazed with Nanne's work! Thanx Girl, for taking the time to bring us some great inspiration!
Okay everyone... you have no excuses... there is perfect inspiration for you! Get.... hurry... grab your paper... and your bug.... Scrap Crazy!
*psst... I forgot....have a great weekend!

I added lots of silk flowers with metal brad centers and the corners were cut from the Fancy Corner die cuts and stickled. I also used the Pop culture borders embossing folders on various areas of my picture frame borders.

Lynne

I chose to make a stair card..I have fallen in love with making these cards and using the Pop Culture border embossing folders are great for these types of cards!! I used my cuttlebug to emboss the front paper..and used my cricut for the rest of the cuts.

Suzann

Recipe: pop culture borders cuttlebug embossing folder, Bo Bunny pattern paper,

Bazzill cardstock,CTMH blank small goodie box, prima flowers and my around the block paper tagger.

Just a little side note... i love flowers, but like them to "move" on my projects.

By paper tagging them they can "wiggle" just a little. It is my favorite way to attach flowers to any project!
