My SU perpetual Birthday calendar class - Sample



I got a couple questions like..."What's a perpetual Birthday calendar class?" It's a calendar that has the month and days listed but NO year. You stamp on each month to decorate it and then you would write people's birthday's/anniversary's etc on the dates so you remember when to send cards. Here's a sample of the August page that I did on my master calendar...(you can change it if you want at the class.) I had to scan it in 2 sections since the calendar is longer than my scanner. Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

Here are the details on my class:

Monogram Initial Note Card Sets



I have to make several monogram note card sets for various teachers, staff, office assistants and RE instructors. I decided to go to my old favorite layout for monogram note cards and mass create them. Tonight I got done with the first round. I plan to make several color schemes using various designer papers so each person has a few different colors. This is my "brown and pink" set and I chose the accent colors of the card stock based upon what was in the designer paper. I love the designer paper because it is loaded with sparkly glitter accents on top of the designs (which is very hard to see in the photo.) It is much prettier in real life. Since my note cards are very casual, I decided to do the first letter of their first name as the monogram instead of their last name. (If I had a more elegant design, I would have used last name.) Anyhow, I will post 'em as I get them done...hopefully a batch a night over the next couple of nights.

Christmas/Holiday Cards


I have received a few requests to post my various holiday cards that I am sending out this year. That's actually tough to do...I have over 20 different cards that are going out to over 100+ people and I neglected to scan all of them since I did most of them back in the Spring of 2009...ooops! The good news is that some of them have been posted over the last year on my webshots site. (Speaking of which...here's the website... http://community.webshots.com/user/su70928 )

The webshots site has got more projects/cards on it than my blog since it is older and has archives AND I can group things together better. Check it out if you are looking for some inspiration!

This Snow Lady is one that I don't think made it up on my blog yet and is one of my favs.

Girl Scouts Holiday Card


I had the girl scouts over this weekend to stamp and this is one of the holiday cards they could choose. (For those that didn't want Santa, they used a snowman and changed the sentiment to either Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays, but I don't have any pictures of that - sorry!) The card is standard layout.

Stamps: Santa = Holiday Tag Team; Sentiment = Season of Joy
Accessories: Red ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch, Scallop punches, SU embossing Folder, Markers

Girl Scout Kids Class Project


Every holiday season I do a special class for one of the local girl scout troops. This is the "craft" item that they are making this weekend...a nice little treat for a friend or teacher.

Hint: Over the past few months the York Peppermint Patties have been repackaged and are now in a "foil pouch" instead of the nice ROUND wrapper (which is what is needed for these darling trinkets.) Sooo, after searching high and low, I discovered that the there is a brand name called Pearsons that you can get at Walmart. Also, if you want to go a bit more expensive the incredible tasting DOVE BLISS pieces of chocolate work well too. (They are kinda rounded squares but still work great. I highly recommend the PEPPERMINT BARK or CARAMEL ones.) :)
