oh wow, love those punches! In my mind I think I have a Silhouette that can probably cut all those, but punches are so handy quick and easy. Maybe I can just cut a bunch at once in batches? I suppose I should do some basic colors just to have a stash on hand. Love that technique about how you emboss, mikklynn thanks for sharing that tip and joblackford I signed up for Shimelle's JYC years ago and forget that I have forever access to those videos. So much content out there its mind boggling. Just gotta know where to find it, I forget! And not just forever access to the videos from back then - you can get the new content every year, new prompt emails and new videos. You can email her and ask to update your email address (assuming you have changed emails and that's why you haven't been getting prompts every December) and she'll put you back on the list. Assuming you want to! If you just want to to get back into the class forums to see the old videos you can try this link and it should show a login somewhere down the bottom with a "forgot password" link if you need it.

I love clusters!
I usually start with the largest element then add smaller and smaller elements until I’m happy with the overall look.

I do have the same acces, I think I just made a rule to throw all DD emails into a dedicated folder and they just pile up in there every year. I'm sad piece of cheese....I took it in like 2012 and never got past like the 3rd day and never ever did anything with it. <hangs head> I just love her, she's one of the best! I think she was out in So Cal not too long ago and I think she arranged Disneyland meet up, I remember thinking that if I was still scrapbooking I'd be tempted to go. Now I'm kicking myself, I probably missed something really cool

Now I'm kicking myself, I probably missed something really cool There will be other opportunities! I think it went pretty well, so she'll do more. I love her too, and I don't paper scrap at all. I was even tempted to go to the crop she's doing with Vicki Boutin, Amy Tan, and a couple of the other AC designers in a few months!

I don't premake clusters.
What I do is build my layout and then after the title is on play around with clusters. I typically use embellishments that go with the layout and paper I used.
Sometimes it is a round sticker I partially tuck with a word strip sticker and maybe a star or heart.
Other times it is shapes/characters and U create a scene.
It all just depends on what they layout us about

You guys sent me down a rabbit hole on a very boring work day about clusters. I watched a lot of memordex (or whatever they are) videos and cluster videos. My kids and I made these today. I like the cutesy stuff for Halloween.

I love cutesy for Halloween too, and now my baby is 13 so I have to look for non babyish Halloween but still not 'evil' as we neither one of us are fans of 'evil' Halloween.

Omg teen Halloween is the worst. Not kid like, but not slut like, but not gross or evil, find an acceptable costume somewhere in the middle of those - in the RIGHT SIZE!
And then they don’t want to make up their minds until a week before- at one point I had to institute a deadline because since I often made their costumes they’d come to me on 10/22 and say hey mom can you.....
Um no probably not at this point. It was easy when they were little, they picked I sewed, poof, they had an awesome costume, but they got too used to that.
