Mini Accordian File Folder

I was asked to participate in a WhipperSnapper image swap, I said that I would contribute 2 different images for the swap. The swap is for 10 + 2 so my total contribution is 24. Instead of doing the usual which is to put them into a clear baggie and mail them off to the person in charge of the swap, I decided to make it a little special for her since she is putting all her time and effort into it and put them in this mini accoridan file folder...I love doing these, they are so much fun. And it was perfect for the images since each pocket in the inside holds 4 images. The directions can be found
here
for the inside of the folder, I cut mine the same size of the cardboard just shaving a little off the ends, the measurements above call for the inside cover to be cut smaller
Here it is open

Everybody Art Challenge #100 Thoughts Of You

I am entering this in theEverybody Art Challenge which will be my first entry. When I saw that this weeks challenge was to use Blue which is my favorite color, I knew this was right up my alley. I decided to take out an older set from Stampin Up and make this card for my sister just to let her know I am thinking of her. This is one set that I will never part with. I usually drag out my brayer whenever I reach for this set, but decided to try making clouds using a scallop. I've seen this technique quite often but finally was inspired when I saw Jeanettes beautiful card and tutorial which can be found by following
this link

So thanks for the inspiration Jeanette.. and Sis this one's for you.

Friday Sketchers 110 Meets Magnolia Down Under #54

It has been ages that I have been able to sit down and do any kind of crafting. My absense was due to my husbands MS which has finally taken a toll on his body, his legs don't work like they used to so things have been quite hard around here. He is basically in a wheelchair now, so it takes it's toll on everyone in the family. In spite of all this, his spirits are high, and he has a great outlook on everything.

So after all that is said and done, I made this for my sons 20th birthday which is tomorrow. It is for both the Magnolia Down Under Challenge and the Friday Sketchers Challenge. Nothing like waiting til the last minute, but it did get me into crafting again, and I hope it sparks an interest again. Then again, my son never would have forgiven me if I purchased a store bought card..lol

Here goes...
