...TE CarD FoLiO...

Back in early November, Taylor from Taylored Expressions made the CuTeST "card folio" on her blog to promote her November release...

I immediately had to try one :)

Here are the cards I made to go inside...personalized thank you notes for my neighbor's daughter's teacher...

simple...computer generated personalization and then I added in the SNOW form the PTI set...I know I totally CASED this idea from someone...but I don't remember from who...SoRRy!!  Thanks for the BriLLianT idea! 

...This is the inside of the cards...

...and the back...

...and the envies...

...here is one side of my "folio" holder...look how cute the decorated binder clip turned out...

30 seconds + 2 buttons and a glue gun= AdoRaBLe! 

...and the other side...

 ...the entire thing laying open...

...the front, folded closed, with the bow tied...

...and with the complementary felt ornament I made to hang on the front...

these are copied from Debbie Olsen's  blog...she made them last year 

I have to tell you...that PTI Made of Snow die set got a MaJoR workout this Christmas!!

I ended up making a few of these sets for people to give to their kids teachers...I love it when an idea turns out to be cute and practical :)

thanks for looking!

...SepTemBeR SkEtcH for YoU to TrY...

so after all the self induced stress of the TaYlOReD ExpReSsiOnS LCS contest...I picked up two stamps that I had paired together when I was looking through my TE stash before we had the contest assignment...

I absolutely LoVeD how the snowflake frame from Take Note ~ Holidays and the Snowman from Hangin' Out at the North Pole fit together.

I have also rediscovered crafty BloG - HoPPinG...how could I have forgotten what an amazing way to waste time that is?!?!?!


I visited Jen del Muro's blog to look at this month's Sketch For You To Try ...as well as at the eye candy all over her blog ;)

Here's the sketch...

As soon as I saw it, I just knew it would work perfectly with the TE stamps I'd matched up earlier.

The basket of 6X6 holiday papers was still sitting on my desk and this card came together in next to no time...

It worked up fast enough that I still had time to link it over on the SFYTT blog!  woo-Hoo!  Haven't done that in forever!!

Here's a close up of the frame and snowman...see how perfect they are together??

I love this card...it's a snowy, PrePpY Christmas!

I'm spending tomorrow working on book club invitations...hopefully I'll get them finished, blogged, and mailed tomorrow...shouldn't be hard since Connor is in a Boy Scout Merit Badge workshop all day and I'm sure the hubster will need at least TWO naps since it will be quiet :)

Thanks for looking and

Have A GrEaT WeEkeNd!!
