Graduation Cards

Ok 3 posts in one day! I am so behind because sometimes my blog doesn't let me upload pictures. I'm alot more handy with stamps and paper than I am with computers. Bear with me everyone.
These are some cards I designed for some more of my co-workers. This is a very busy Graduation Season for people!!

Scoring time saving trick

I have been cutting up a lot of cards lately for my CF workshops and orders that I've gotten. Scoring every card individually is very time consuming. I figured out that if I score a piece of 8 1/2x 11 cardstock before cutting it that I can score 2 cards for the same amount of time that it takes to score 1!! This also works if you are making a number of 3x3 cards. Just take a piece of 12x12 cardstock and score it at 3 inches and 9 inches. Then you can cut the paper at the 6 inch mark. Turn it and cut the scored paper at 3 inch cuts. You now have 8 cards scored in the time that it usually takes to score 2! Hope this helps some of you out. I never realized when I was just taking workshops how much time it takes to cut out the projects.

Flip Flop Bag and Card Set

I made this bag to go with the matching cards for a co-worker to give as a gift. I love the flip flops, but didn't love coloring them all in!!

Fundraising results

I wanted to thank everyone who helped make my CF fundraising efforts so successful. A special thanks to my dear friend, Michelle Surette. She came along to all of the workshops except for one. Without her help I would have been in trouble (especially the one with 17 girls!!). Altogther I raised $1420 to help find a cure for CF. It's a great feeling to be able to help out doing something that I love so much!
