Happy Monday Crafty Friends!
Today I am sharing a sweet layout of my kids from earlier this year, playing in the snow!
I used some of my lovely Top Dog Dies!!
I also have a little tutorial/tip to share with you!
I am in love with my new Top Dog Dies and each time I use them I try to look at them in different ways!
Meaning I try to get different looks out of the same die.
If you have followed some of my previous posts, you will notice many times I don't use the entire Madison Border Die; it's beautiful using just the bottom potion as if it was a hand border punch. Last week I used one of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Trio Die Set to create a poinsettia!
So this week....I took a look at the Nameplates Die.
I then lined up the straight edge, to cut off the rounded portion, to create a different look.
As I mentioned before, I also like to just use portions of the Madison Border Die:
Hope you liked my little tutorial/tip today!
So be sure to look at your dies in different ways! It's always nice to get more uses out of them!!

What a fun die! You get two lovely labels/shapes in one die!!!
But if you decide, like me, to alter them you get even more!!
I decided to work with the top one!
As you can see in the above picture, I cut the shape out 3 times.
I then lined up the straight edge, to cut off the rounded portion, to create a different look.
Check out the different looks:
The top one is the original and then two extra ones I came up with. The bottom one could also be cut in half and used as a banner if you like!
I decided to use the bottom one for my winter layout:
One of our favorite parts about winter here in Wisconsin, is being able to play in the snow!!
I just love how my altered cuts look on this layout! I believe if I would have used the original shape, it just would not have looked right with 3.
The last few weeks I have found myself using the Snowflake Trio Die Set a lot!!
