Big Deal Sketch

Good Sunday Morning!  I have a sketch for you using the Big Deal Alpha that will no longer be available after June 30.  I use this alpha set quite a bit for scrapbooking.  I like that the letters are relatively easy to cut out.  Plus, I think it's more of a "fun" set and that's perfect for my pages since most of my pages revolve around my boys.

Here's the sketch on Our Creative Corner for this week.  I flipped mine on the side. 

 

This was a pretty quick and easy card to make.  I used Rockabilly Specialty DSP (which is retiring as well) which dictated my colors.  Instead of a bow, I used the new Jumbo Grommets (Occasions Mini) and Jumbo Brads.

Just a tip on the Jumbo Grommets.  After playing with them for a while, I found that the easiest way for me to attach them is with using a Paper Piercer.  I place the Jumbo Grommet where I want it to go.  Then using the Paper Piercer, I pierce a hole by each little tab.   You can see each little tab from the inside of the grommet.  Once I have all the holes pierced, I push the grommet through.  I use the  Mat Pack piece made for Paper Piercing as a push the grommet through.  I hope this makes sense!
