Cookie Sheet Calendar

I finally finished my cookie sheet calendar!!!

I learned so much from creating this 1st one I know what I will change on the next one! 

I'm changing the background to a solid paper since the retro ads are taking away from all the goodies on the match boxes.  I will also choose a few papers for the match boxes instead of so many different patterns.  The last thing I'm going to change is the size of the month plaques to be a bit smaller.

Corset Card

A friend send me a photo of a corset card and I loved it!!!  Here is the link to the creator of this fabulous card so you can get inspired or purchase her work.

I searched the Internet for instructions on how to fold a corset and found them so I will be teaching this card in my June card class along with several other fun and unusual shaped cards.

I used a 12 X 12 sheet of designer paper for this card.  You can make them any size the smallest so for that I have made is with a 5 X 5 piece of paper to fit on the outside of a card. 

Till my next blog take care and have fun crafting...
