Well, I didn't think I'd get to post again until after leadership, but it turns out that my roommate (Blythe Klipple) has a laptop computer. She's letting me use it to post some pictures. Thanks Blythe!!
Here are the make-n-takes we made today.
Isn't this cute? I know a lot of you are going to be asking for directions on how to make this...but you'll have to wait until next week. I'm using Blythe's Mac for this post and as a PC user, I feel like a fish out of water.
UPDATE: You can now find the tutorial on how to make this card by clicking here.
This is a cute tri-fold card. On the front flap we measured up 1 1/2" from the bottom right corner. Then we took our paper trimmer and cut from our 1 1/2" mark to the upper left hand corner. So the front flap is angled. It's a little difficult to see in the photo, but it's there.
I also have to add that I LOVE our new striped grosgrain ribbon. It's much wider than I thought it would be--it's 1/2" wide. It also lays very nicely on the card. In this card, the striped grosgrain is holding the front flap closed.
This is a 9 3/8" square scrapbook page. We glued our DSP down to a piece of chipboard that big. It's nice and sturdy. As you can see in these photos, we got to use lots of Rub-Ons. This was my first chance to work with them and they're so easy to use. And yes, you'll be addicted to them too!
This picture has a little shadow on it, but it's hard to take a good photo in a hotel room with your bed sheets as the back drop! We made two of this card--one to keep and one for the Ronald McDonald House.
Leadership classes start tomorrow. I'll try to post another update, but I can't promise anything. Enjoy and I'll see you when I return! ~Dannie
