Weekly Planner Before & After

Every year, I usually make desk calendars for my family and friends. Making 9 sets of 12 can be stressful. Especially when this year the 9 becomes 11 since my niece and soon to be niece have hinting that they would love a set for there desks as well. However this year, I haven't started that project, and don't know if I will. but hey, the night is still young I can still change my mind and decide to make them and really be stressed out..lol. So for now, I have made these weekly planners/calendars that I found at the $1 store. They are just perfect for your pocketbook.
So here is the before shot:

Once I took the cover off, I saw I had cardboard to work with, so I used the cover as
a template to cut out the cardstock and then taped it to the planner/calendar decorated the front and viola. Hand made weekly planner.


Here is my finished product:

Happy St. Pat's Day

As many of you know, I live in an apartment building on the 10th floor. One of my scrapbook buddies lives on the 11th. She is Irish, I am Italian, and every year, believe it or not, I am the one that makes the Cornbeef & Cabbage and she comes down (much easier there is only 1 of her and I am alreay cooking for 4 so what's one more). But the best part of all is that when she comes down, I always get fresh out of the oven homemade Irish soda bread. She does it in an old cast iron pot. OMG it is soooooo good, we can't resist and have to rip off a piece put some butter on it and eat it right up. This year she will be in Florida on St. Pat's Day, but I am sure that since this Saturday is a scrapbook night she'll come down with a warm loaf. My mouth is watering already. Anyway, this card is for her.

A close up of the card. It honestly looks allot better in person. Guess the lighting wasn't that great.

Cherry Blossom Time

Since I had these papers out, and I loved the Saturday sketch so much, I had to do another card using this sketch. I thought these red papers were perfect for this image and I just had to get this card done. I am having so much fun playing with these beautiful images from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design.
