I was super excited....

when I received an email from my friend, Terri Mouw, with BossKut asking me if I'd like to see the Summer CHA releases! I emailed back..."YES YES YES!"...because who doesn't love a sneak peek?! So she sent me back some pictures of a delicious looking cupcake with a pretty wrapper and her phone number and said "call me for more info!" Even though it was 10 pm I grabbed my phone and dialed as quickly as I could. She informed me that they were releasing cupcake wrappers! Who doesn't LOVE a cupcake?! The digital designs will be available soon and the actual metal dies will release at CHA Summer 2009. After all that, Terri asked me if I'd like to play with the new designs and release them for BossKut on the Scrap-Mart blog! Of course I said I'd LOVE to! So, here are my creations!

For this one I used the straight edge wrapper and made a pirate flag with the Pirate Flag download. I am totally going to do these for Seth's birthday next year! LOVE it!

This next one would be great for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or any occastion you want to say "I Love You!"

For this one, I used one of the two heart wrappers and backed it with the straight edge one. I love the scallop edge. I lined the heart wrapper from behind with the straight edge one to make the hearts stand out against the patterned paper. Just for fun, I flipped over some of the heart cut outs and put them back in the cut outs to add contrast.

I'm thinking I can use one for a border on a scrapbook page. In addition to these, there's one with different size circles cut out all over and one that has hearts that pop out! You can visit BossKut Designs for the digital files you can cut with your Gazelle, Silhouette and/or Cricut. Or, the actual metal dies will be available shortly after their July release.

I am leaving EARLY Wednesday morning for Arlington, TX. I'm headed down to the Great American Scrapbook Convention with Scrap-Mart. If you're in that area, be sure to stop by the booth and say hello. I'm thrilled because my cousin and best friend, Heather, is driving up from San Antonio. I haven't seen her in over 3 years and cannot wait! I hope you have a great week! Be back soon!
