70 point items- Use your stash

When my friend and I created the points list, there were initially some items we forgot we had. These items soon revealed themselves as we were digging through our trays of fun little embellishments and old files of this and that. They became our 70 point category.

1.  Pre- Created Hostess club pages- these are the layouts that we started at one of those in home  parties without photos. (Close to my Heart, Stampin Up, etc..) Add photos to them and voila-70 points!
2. Big Bling Flourish or Swirl- these are those pretty rhinestone shapes- they can really dress up a page!
3. Pre- cut paper tags- These are so frustrating cause they are almost always the wrong color, but add your own ink with a sponge or daubber or paint, and a loop of ribbon at the top, a few embellishments at one corner and you have an instant journaling spot. 
4. pre made wire words- They were so cute, we had to buy them, and carry them around for years cause we want the perfect layout to use them on. 
5. Memorabilia- You have saved drawers and boxes of it- the tickets, the maps, and brochures, but how much actually makes it to the album? Make a pocket page behind the photos to slide it in or use a flip pocket, or a double door style hideaway- put it in the book. That is what you saved it for, right?
6. oversize chipboard- 6" or larger- those giant chipboard letters that are all the rage on the wall- use them in your book for a big impact- modge podge paper on them, paint them, ink them up- cut photos to cover their shape creatively, add words to them and use them as a journaling spot, fool the eye and make them stop and look. 
7. original die-cut-not one you cut out yourself with your cricut or die machine- we are talking about old school die cuts- the ones we spent hours looking through at the LSS or bought from CM. They are just plain single color die cuts. Often a challenge due to the color or size or just plain too simple for an advanced scrapper to use. Or are they? BE creative- dress them up with stickles, or 3-d micro beads or confetti and a transparency. Make them pop off the page with foam tape or pop dots.- layer them with your own add-ons.
