Yes, I think this is the last of it. I think this is the last of the infamous pile I have from OnStage. Here are all the swaps pictured for you in one place. I hope these give you some ideas to get you going.
If you have any questions about any of these cards please contact me. If you would like to see them in person I will have them available at the Christmas Party on Saturday, December 17 from 4-7!
It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
I have to say that sometimes rest looks like me flat on the couch and other times it looks like me in the kitchen. If you don’t know me well…I love to cook. Not so much on the baking side but definitely on the cooking side. Yes, I used to sell Pampered Chef but I wasn’t good at selling the products. Why? Because I don’t measure much while I am cooking. If you don’t measure then you don’t sell very many products do you? 🙂
But today I am in the kitchen cooking our Thanksgiving meal. By the end of the day I will be tired but I will be full, mentally and physically. I have found out over the years that my love language is through service or acts of kindness. So my way of saying I love you or I care for you is to ask if you have eaten yet.
This always tickles me as my Grama was the same way. I can still hear her as I walked through the front door. Her raspy, somewhat hoarse, voice (from years of smoking) rattled through the house “Jon, you hungry? What you want to eat?”. If I replied that I wasn’t hungry the same reply came. A plate with a sandwich or some scrambled eggs and toast (depending on the time of day). It was just a little something to tie me over until lunch or dinner. She would always say that I needed to eat because I was too skinny.
And now I find myself doing much of the same with my daughter. As soon as she said she was coming home for more than a minute the next question was “what do you want to eat?”. How time changes things all while staying the same.
Starting on December 1 you can order from the Last Chance List! If you didn’t receive your copy please contact me so I can send it to you.
My personal Last Chance List is out for my Team and for my VIP’s already. If you have not received it please check your email inbox as well as spam or junk. Please contact me if you need it to be resent. Starting on Monday the 28th it will be available to all Crafters.
It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Today I want to remind you to check on your friends…especially your close ones. Yesterday was Thanksgiving so depending on their family dynamics, they may need you. So be a friend and check on them.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to give you the measurements for three similar cards. They all have some sort of “z-fold” to them.
The first card I am calling the regular z-fold.
For the card base you will need to cut a piece of card stock with the Paper Trimmer to 8 ½” X 5 ½”. On the 8 1/2″ side the card stock will be scored at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8″.
The Snowflake Vellum will be cut to 4″ X 5 ¼” and 2″ X 5 ¼”.
Basic White Card Stock will be cut to 3″ x 4 ½”.
Matching card stock needs to be cut to 2 1/2″ x 3 1/8″.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Not only can the large dies be used for tags or accents, but they can also be used to create a hole or background for a photo. Instead of filling the hole with a sentiment or stamped image fill it with a photo. This makes Christmas cards easy.
It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week and maybe a bit beyond.

I am taking Monday and Tuesday off. I will be back Wednesday, closed Thursday, and back Friday and Saturday.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
Sometimes you need to change up your routine and take some extra time off. My daughter, Tara, will be in town for a few days so I am taking Monday and Tuesday off. I will be back Wednesday, closed Thursday, and back Friday and Saturday.
This post is not only to tell you about my holiday hours this week, but also to remind you to take some time to enjoy the ones closest to you.
