Tri-Fold Valentine

Have you ever tried making a tri-fold card? It's very easy and makes your card appear really fancy.

Simply take a 9.5 x 5.5 piece of card stock. Score at 2.5 and 6.5 inches. Whola! I wrapped Stampin Up Whisper White Satin ribbon around the entire outside so when you first open the card it's not so boring. Just adding little touches like that can make a big difference.

I am still working on my Valentines. I must admit, I've been addicted to scrapbooking since the New Year. I am bound and determined to get caught up (smile). My goal has been to create a two-page layout each week. So far, so good. I work on it a little every night. I am a very slow scrapbook page creator. It doesn't come as easy as cards do. I'll share some pages with you soon.

Don't forget, Sale-A-Bration is on now through March 31st. You get free products for every $50 you spend. E-mail me for a FREE brochure or more details.

Happy stamping!

Grateful Greetings

Thanksgiving will be here in two weeks. Can you believe it? I am so grateful for my promotion at work. It really has been life changing.

I try to make Thanksgiving cards and treats for my family every year. I've been paper crafting for so long, I think they expect it now. No pressure, right? I decided to embellish these mini pails I picked up at our local craft store recently. Aren't they cute? Of course they must accompany a matching card and the pail will be filled with something sweet. Hopefully my friends and family will enjoy them at the Thanksgiving table this year. Did I mention I'm cooking too? I bought the turkey this week. Now the planning. Argh! I'd rather be paper crafting.

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!
