At our church tomorrow we will be writng in these cards for the troops! I used some retired designer paper that I had on hand to make up 50 men cards and 50 women cards! I sure hope they like receiving them again this year like last year when we sent them out!
I will be posting the card recipes for the two cards for this month later this week!
I was asked by my co-worker if I could come up with an idea for a ladybug topper for a littel girls birthday party. I searched the internet combined ideas and came up with this version. I had done the punching out at home and showed the girls how to put them together and they made 24 of them. Next project at work is my other co-worker thought bubble bees would be cute along w the lady bugs for the end of the school year idea for her girls to take to school. LOL! So, I am on the search now for ideas to make my own version of bubble bees!

This is how I store my cardstock and scraps. I get these containers from Target. They come in all kinds of colors. I have 5 of them on my book shelf. One for each family group and one for the neutrals and current in colors. Then, I use a page protector sheet for each color. I put a full sheet in to start with helps it stay upright. The I put the scraps in the page protector and it goes in front of the full sheets. I use the scraps up this way!! I have tried so many different ways over the last 7 years of how to store scraps believe me! This idea that works for me came from splitcoaststampers.com and now some of my customers are doing this too!!
Next week my tip is on how to start having cards on hand to mail out.
