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!

Bunny and a carrot!

Wow 2 posts in one day. Can you tell I did just about nothing today except stamp!! I cased this Bunny from a blog I found today. I thought I saved the blog on my favorites, but now I can't find it anywhere. I'll let you know when I find her again. The only thing I did different was to use the Weathered background stamp on the carrot. She used the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Love punch art! I used the Ornament punch, the Itty Bitty punches and the petal punch from the Occasions Mini. Can't wait for the Easter Bunny!

Unfrogettable

Hello Everyone. I have so much fun using punches to creative things! This cute frog was made using the wide oval, large oval, 3/4" cicle, 1 1/4" circle, 3 1/8" circle, triple flower, triple heart and the owl punch. The saying inside is from the retired set Unfrogettable. Thanks for looking!

Fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis

Hello All, I am copying my up-up line with a stamp-a-stack workshop fundraiser. On May 21st I will be walking in a Great Strides Walk to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. One of my best friends in the world has a daughter battling this disease. I want to raise as much money as I can to help find a cure. Join me in one of my many workshops that I will doing. All proceeds will go straight to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We will be doing these two cards. Three of each design. Six in total for 20 dollars.
