In Rosie's Book: Sizzix Big Shot Pro Candy-Shaped Box and Sara Burrier's Poinsettia

Why Rosie's Book?

While growing up, I had a dear friend, Renee, that lived next door and with whom I spent much of my childhood. We grew, in different directions, and went on our merry way. Many years later, I ran into her parents and they kindly reminded me of the laughs they still have over my book. “What book?” I wondered with a puzzled look. "I don't remember a book." Hardy laughter accompanied their response. At some time during our childhood, I tried to convince Renee about something that her parents didn’t agree with. I told her that proof of its truth could be found “in my book.” Naturally she went home and tried to convince her parents of the same thing but they weren’t falling for it. She needed an edge and told them emphatically, “It’s in Rosie’s book!” After they caught their breaths from reborn laughter, they let me know how “Rosie’s book” has been cited for many other things throughout the years. They’ve also mentioned that they’d like to see “Rosie’s book” one day. I can’t remember all of the things that I said were in “my book” but I’m sure my dear friend’s parents can recall much more than I ever knew about – LOL!!! So, here it is . . . my version of things you might find In Rosie’s Book . . .

I'm thrilled to share a Crafts and Me Stamps soon-to-be-released beautiful fairy digital image by Sara Burrier named Poinsettia.

This photo shows a closer view of my Copic-filled image. I set this lovely fairy toward the side of my cut rectangle so I'd have plenty of room to add a sentiment and some embellishments. This magnificent stamped sentiment is an oldie from Art Gone Wild! A QuicKutz manger and north star die cuts provide divine accents. A bit of Diamond Stickles covers her wings and the poinsettia she's holding. You can find out the basics of how I make my punched poinsettias here.

I've used my Sizzix Big Shot Pro and the Candy-Shaped Box Pro die to die cut Little Yellow Bicycle's Christmas Magic paper. Holiday ribbons, tied in bows, hold my candy box tight but will make it easy to open and tie again. A Spellbinders' Fleur De Lis Rectangle frames my image.

It all came together pretty easily. Memory Box holly vines add a very nice over the edge flourish. Here's a view of my completed Sizzix Big Shot Pro Candy-Shaped Box showcasing Sara Burrier's Poinsettia . . .
