Hi, everyone!
We had two wonderful USTREAM shows yesterday & got our card organizer box complete. We also got started on the dividers for the box & there was a request that I would add another PDF with some ideas for card subjects in the same font used for the months. I created a PDF with the names of all twelve months + thirteen other card types to use as divider labels. You can download it here: Divider Tab Labels.
Use as many as you like from the list. I made a total of eighteen dividers for my box, but you could certainly make more ~ this needs to be functionl for you! Twelve of my eighteen tabs are for the months of the year, and six are for occasions that come up throughout the year. I'll probably be using the following six from the PDF:
1. Thank You
2. Sympathy (includes bereavement, get well soon, etc.)
3. Congratulations (includes new baby, wedding, graduation, etc.)
4. Thinking of You (includes anytime, friendship, etc.)
5. Faith/Religious Events (includes Baptisms, religious holidays, etc.)
6. Gift Card Holders
If you'd like to see how to assemble the box and create the dividers, check out the two USTREAM reecordings from today's shows:
1. Card Organizer: Box + Lid
2. Card Organizer: Dividers + Decorating
One of my goals for 2012 was to make (and send) more cards to friends and family. In order to store and organize these cards (and the dates on which to send them), I'll be creating a card organizer and storage box. That's why we created the box and dividers today.
I made the box out of 12"x12" chipboard and decorated it with the Bo Bunny "Country Garden" paper collection. Since this box will be sitting in your home, you should choose a paper collection that you love and that complements your home decor.
The tabbed dividers turn the large empty box into a filing system of sorts. There's a tab for each of the twelve months. That's where you put the cards for events that happen on the same day every year: birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. The additional tabbed dividers are for those occasions and circumstances that crop up periodically throughout the year.
To download the date sheets for the fronts of my twelve monthly dividers shown on the videos, click here: Monthly Card Sheets.
I'll be doing card classes throughout the year to fill our boxes up. The goal is to get the box nice and stocked so that you're always prepared to send a handmade card for any occasion.
I hope that you like this idea and that you'll be making a card organizer of your own.

New USTREAM Series: Card Organizer Project Starts Today!
Hi, everyone!
Now that the "Frosty Window Album" has been completed, we'll be starting a new project during today's USTREAM shows. This is a project that I'll be working on periodically throughout the year.
One of my goals for 2012 was to make (and send) more cards to friends and family. In order to store and organize these cards (and the dates on which to send them), I'll be creating a card organizer and storage box. That's what we'll be starting today.
I'll be making the box out of 12"x12" chipboard and decorating it with the Bo Bunny "Country Garden" paper collection. Since this box will be sitting in your home, you should choose a paper collection that you love and that complements your home decor.
Essentially the box will be come a file. We'll have tabbed dividers for each of the twelve months for events that you know about each year (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.), as well as tabbed dividers for those occasions and circumstances that crop up periodically throughout the year (congratulations, sympathy, thinking of you, etc.).
I have created date sheets for the fronts of my twelve monthly dividers. If you'd like to use them instead of making your own, a PDF is available for download here: Monthly Card Sheets.
Once we've got the box made, we'll be doing card classes throughout the year to fill it up. The goal is to get the box nice and stocked so that you're always prepared to send a handmade card for any occasion.
I am live today and every Thursday on my USTREAM channel at 2:00 PM Eastern USA time and 9:00 PM Eastern USA time. Check the right hand sidebar of my blog for a timezone converter if you're not sure what time that is where you live.
I hope that you like this idea and that you'll be able to join me on my two live shows today to start working on it.
See you there!

Stampendous Blog Hop!
This Saturday the Stampendous design team has something extra special planned for you ... they have combined their regular monthly challenge with a blog hop showcasing some of the great new products released at CHA last month! I am super excited to have been asked to participate in this blog hop as a guest designer. Thanks so much to the Stampendous team for inviting me! So pull up a chair, grab a warm beverage and yummy snack, and get ready to be wowed!
The gals at Stampendous sent me some of their new Color Fragments for this Blog Hop, which I used to create a 6"x6" card. I turned these little bits of pure color into egg shells in the nest below:
In the above card, I stamped the bird's nest from the Nest Egg Perfectly Clear Stamps twice and then cut it out with a combination of my craft knife & a pair of scissors. It took a l-o-n-g time, I'm not going to lie. I layered one nest over the other to create the well in the center.
Next I used both the solid and speckled egg stampes from the Nest Egg Perfectly Clear Stamps to create the eggs. I layered the speckled images over the sold images to create this robin's egg look. One of the eggs I cut in half to look like it had already hatched.
After arranging the eggs in the nest, I added Scotch Quickdry to the nest and then sprinkled on the Powder Blue Color Fragments to look like broken bits of shell. Once the next was complete, I added it to the front of my card & I LOVE IT!!! Here's a closer look at the nest itself:
To see more of what you can do with these color fragments, check out the whole list of fabulousness for today:
As you hop from blog to blog, being wowed by all the amazing new goodies Stampendous is showing off, be sure to leave some love (and your contact email) for the designers, as well as over on the Stampendous blog. The more you comment, the better your chances are to win one of five fantastic prize packs. Each one includes a brand new stamp set and bottle of color fragments:
Winners will be randomly selected from all comments left on blogs, so the more you comment the better your chances are to win one!! You have until Sunday, February 12 th at 8:00 PM EST to leave a comment on each blog; winners will be announced on Monday, February 13th. Due to shipping restrictions, all winners must have a US/APO/FPO mailing address.
Have a great weekend!

Scrappy Bowl Challenge #2: Red, White & Blue
I wanted to do two color challenges using the team colors. I was hoping one of the teams in the Super Bowl would be the Baltimore Ravens as their color combo is so striking. Unfortunately, the Giants and the Patriots have the same team colors, so I was only able to get one challenge out of them ~ not two. So I am challenging you to create a project using the red, white & blue team colors of the NY Giants and/or New England Patriots.

1. My Mind's Eye 6"x6" Paper Pad Bundle from Krystal O'Neill

Scrappy Bowl Kicks Off TONIGHT at 6:30 PM!
The 2012 Super Bowl is kicking off tonight at 6:30 PM Eastern USA time, and so is our Second Annual Scrappy Bowl Party! Since I am not into the whole football thing, I will be hosting a little Superbowl party on my USTREAM channel. The show will run during the Superbowl.
We'll have USTREAM during the game, fun chatting, challenges here on the blog & some random prize drawings! So if you've been less than impressed with the Super Bowl commercials lately, or you just couldn't care less which team in tight pants beats the other, come join us for some scrapping instead!
This year we'll have TONS of prizes donated by Carol & Barrie of Scrapadabadoo as well as bunches of gifts from some of your friends from the show and the Beach Babes from the Ning site. Be sure to join us for inspiration, laughs & loads of goodies!

No USTREAM This Afternoon!
Hi, everyone!
Just a quick post to let you know that this afternoon's regular USTREAM is cancelled since I will be 35,000 feet over the Midwest at the time it's supposed to air. ;D My airport shuttle leaves the hotel at 5:45 AM Pacific & I arrive in DC at 5:00 PM Eastern. It's going to be a l-o-n-g day.
The evening show will be on at the regular time as long as I am still capable of sitting up after nine hours of travel. If we do have a show, it will be shorter than the usual two hours. Instead of doing a project, we'll talk about some of the highlights of the show & I'll show you some of the new products coming out in the next few months! Sound like fun?
See you later!
