Have you seen these?

Working in the frame shop at Michael's, I don't always see the neat new products - so I have no clue how long we've had these - they might be old news!  But, I found this product a couple of weeks ago and just had to have one to display some of my scrapbook layouts.  This stand holds 20 - 12x12 scrapbook pages and sells for only $19.99 - use a 40% coupon and bring it home for just $12!  This also comes in an 8x8 size - not sure of price on that one.


The page showing is an old one I made in a workshop I took with Crystal Jeffrey Rieger, author of "Cut Loose" - one of the few scrapbook "how-to" books that I own. (please forgive the shadows and glare - I really need to construct a lightbox for my scraproom)

YAY! I made a Card!

 It's been forever since I've done any type of paper crafting - had to relearn how to use my cutter!

I made a card yesterday for a friend - I used the SEI dill blossom paper collection, chestnut ink from colorbox,  some ribbon, flowers and a pearl from my stash and a little "thinking of you" stamp set (from the dollar bin either at Joann's or Michael's - not sure which).

I used the Iris Fold Card Kit from svgcuts.com as well as a couple of their freebie files:

• Free SVG File – Sure Cuts A Lot – 04.25.11 – Liesl’s Lacey Oval
• Free SVG File – Sure Cuts A Lot – 05.05.11 – Jade Accent Design Element

If you've ever done Iris Folding before, you'll appreciate how easy this kit makes it to achieve the desired results!  Thanks Mary!
