I am still "Celebrating Home" with this set. My inspiration came from a birdhouse my son made.He helped his dad cut the wood. He screwed the pieces together and painted it. It is red with a white top. I love it and the birds seem to love it, too. I did not want to mess with the birdhouse and bring it inside in case there are little babies inside. So, my picture is separate from the card. I used my fiskars and a stylus to create the scored frame around my picture. I wanted to keep this one fun and light. About my Nestability red scalloped frame behind the ribbon tag. Well, I used the small long scalloped rectangles and do what I like to call "cheating the nesties." I did not have this width so I cut out the length I need with the die, then lined up with the scallops the sized I needed with a section hanging over the edge. I run it through and ta da....instant scalloped rectangle in the width I needed to frame my sentiment.

Be sure to check out all the other designer's blog to see what they created with this set.
