#2021 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek Flowers of Friendship Thank You Card

Have I told you how much I love card swaps? The card I'm sharing today is another swap I made. For the last maybe 10 years or so, I've been privileged to participate in a team meeting each month with fellow demonstrators. I'm what's referred to as an "orphaned" demonstrator. All my upline dropped a number of years ago. These ladies have welcomed me into their group and offered support even though they do not get any monetary compensation from me. A true gift!

Anyway, here is the swap I made for this group:

I love how well the Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent cardstock go together! And, that Polished Pink! Wow!

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
