ONE SHEET WONDER CLASS PLANNER TUTORIAL

I just finished the final layouts for my eight cards and one card enclosure care OSW (One Sheet Wonder).  Each card was made with a section of the OSW background created using various colors of ink and different stamp shapes. I randomly stamped the flowers on cardstock.

The OSW background sheet below was created using the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Whisper White cardstock 8 1/2" x 11"
• Love & Care stamp set
• Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango ink

To create the cards I used the following

• Chocolate Chip cardstock - 1 and one half sheets
• Crushed Curry cardstock - 3 sheets
• Dusty Durango - 3 sheets
• Whisper White - 1 sheet

I have created a 15-page class planner which includes

• Picture of each card
• Card details - include measurements of OSW and other cardstock
• OSW layout - layout and measurements for creating the cards
• Cardstock layout - layout and measurements to get the best number of cuts from the least amount of paper
• Supply list

You can have this class planner/tutorial for only $4.99.   Once you make your purchase, I will email you the Adobe PDF.  I have the complete planner in one file; however, if your email provider does not accept large files, I will email individual pages of the tutorial in seperate emails.

If you have any questions, please EMAIL before you make your purchase.

Hummingbirds

We are amazed at the number of hummingbirds flying around and drinking the nectar.  We have estimated that, that at times we have at least twenty flying around, all vying for a spot.  They drink a fill-up in less than one day.

Friends.........

.....are there when you need them.  They come in all sizes and styles.  A friend might be your sister and a friend might live near you.  A friend knows when you are having a bad day.

I received an email from a "dear" friend.  The subject line reads "Checking on you."  My original thought was, oh - how sweet.  She must have heard I had a bad day.

THEN - I read the email.

Shopping List and Coupon Holder

I created a customizable shopping list and coupon holder using my Bind-it-All. The book holds the notepads you can purchase; they have a magnet on the back. This was designed so I could refill with a new notepad. The ribbon wraps around the book and holds the notepad in place.

The book holds envelopes that are used for coupons. The envelopes can be customized to hold coupons and can be labeled in the same order as your store layout. The number of envelopes is up to you and can be replaced easily when damaged or worn.

I have created a tutorial with pictures and it is available for a small fee of $3.49.  The tutorial shows how to wrap the ribbon around the book to hold in the notepad.  Just click on the Buy Now Button at the bottom of this posting.  Once you payment is cleared, an Adobe PDF file will be emailed to you.

I showed my husband the card made in this POST.  As I placed it on the counter......this is what happened.

It wouldn't stand up!

Well, darn - this isn't good.  My husband continues to smile....................."Do you want me to show you how to keep it from falling down?"  He had a solution in a nanosecond.

What was his solution???

My husband - I think I'll keep him!!

Thirty-Four Years

I am blessed!

This is the only good picture that we have.  Our photographer (a friend) took his glasses off and focused the camera. *big sigh*

On the positive side - our wedding party consisted of a maid of honor and best man.  The blurred pictures made it look like we had triple the number in our party.
