Frugal Fridays: Notepad for $1.00..great stocking stuffers and teacher's gifts!

Hello everyone,
It's finally Friday! I have a good friend Elizabeth (aka scramper75) coming to visit this weekend! I can't wait to see her and hopefully get in some crafting time!

Speaking of Friday it's time for my frugal deal of the week. Today only you can get my Notepad with Cover file for only $1.00. This low price will expire at midnight CST today (Nov. 13, 2009) so hurry and get this great item before the dollar days are gone! This makes a great stocking stuffer! I like to keep one in my purse for jotting down things and keeping the kids occupied while waiting. This would also be great as a teacher's gift. It fits perfectly inside Sam and Hailey Design's all purpose treat box (see an example of this in my store here). You can place a tea bag or snack size candy bag in it too. You could even put a mesh bag filled with potpourri inside and use it as a drawer scent. Click preview below if you'd like to purchase it for only $1.00!

(Just wanted to share with you a tip....if you don't have any double sided paper make your own by using spray adhesive to adhere two sheets together...if your machine is capable of cutting heavy layers you could even do a two thin pattern papers and a solid cardstock layer in the middle!)


I wanted to share with you a card I made. See the snowflake? I used the same technique I used to do the the buttons on my previous post. (If you missed it scroll down). I started with only 1 white snowflake then several layers of poly sparkle embossing powder. I am simply amazed at how this turned that paper into a sparkly plastic type of material. I can't wait to make more!



Photos just don't do justice to how pretty the snowflake is but here is a close up and you can kinda tell how it looks like glittery plastic.



If you are interested in purchasing any of the files I used for my card click on previews below.



Kelly's baby will soon be here yet she continues to amaze me with all the wonderful projects she keeps cranking out! I remember my last few months...I was sooo tired and miserable...barely able to walk let alone be creative. I'm so proud of Kelly and how she's fairing this pregnancy sooo well! Okay now to share some of her creations!



Isn't that card adorable! I love seeing my build a.. files put to use. Everyone makes it their own unique creation by what they choose. Kelly used my build a turkey file. Click below to purchase. It's on sale the whole month of November!






Kelly put another one of my build a files to good use. This one uses my build a snowman file. I love the expression she chose. Did you see the cuttlebug embossing folder matches the background paper perfectly! Kelly is definitely the queen of embossing! It is soo funny..many times when Kelly creates something I see she used papers I have in my stash. I even have that ribbon too! Thus making it easy to copy her creations! I wish her and I could go shopping together one day...we have similar tastes it seems and I know we could spend a boat load of money together no problem! What's that they say..."Great minds think aike!". Click below if you'd like to purchase my build a snowman file.

Oh I almost forgot to mention. All of these cards were based on a sketch on Mojo Monday's blog. I am using it for my monthly card sketch challenge on the Paperthreads forum. If you participate you get a free file from me. Then all who post a card get their name in a drawing for another file from one of the other PT designers. If you like to join click here. You do need to be a member of the PT forum but registration is easy and free!


Have an amazing weekend! I hope you'll stop by next Friday for another $1.00 steal!

Butterflies, cupcakes, and stick pins!

Howdy!
Can you believe it's August already! Where has the Summer gone! Hmmm it's time to start school shopping. This is a whole new world for me as my son starts Kindergarten in Sept. I'd better enjoy my baby now before this month passes and I'll have a Kindergartener in my house!

Now I'd like to share with you a few items that some very talented people made with my files. I'm am so delighted when a project using my files comes to my e-mail box. If you ever make anything uses any of mine even the free files...please don't hesitate to send it to me at shellysart@verizon.net. I'll post it here with your permission and it may even get posted in my store.

My 3-D butterflies sure are fluttering their way onto many projects. I just love them and I'm glad you do too!

First up, is a beautiful card combining many of my files by fellow Paperthreads forum member Deb Cole. I love the little details she added like the embossing on the flowers and bracket box. The stickles really make the card POP!

Next, my CDT member Lisa Lindesmith keeps making these beautiful acetate butterflies using my 3-D butterflies file. Hmm I wonder if I can get her to cut some for me! The jewel body is just stunning! I love the swirls she stamped on the butterfly. Almost makes me want to take up stamping again...almost!



Lisa blew me away again with her version of my cupcake card file. I love how she corrugated the cupcake wrapper and added the bow to the front. The heart paper with stickles added make the perfect cupcake. No need for sprinkles when you have adorable hearts!

I will be making this into a digital scrapbooking template as soon as I get a few other commitments out of the way. The end of the month is always crazy for me!



Above is one of the photos from my son's graduation from Pre-K. They did a few songs and I cried. One really cute one they did goes as follows:

"This is Tyler, this is Tyler
He's our friend,
This is Tyler he's our friend,
He's so special
He's so special!"

They did this for each and every child. There were 12 of them. I thought it was great for those 4 and 5 year olds to do that. My son sang very loud and we were so proud of him! They had a luncheon afterwards and he got a big bag of loot from the pre-schoool. You can see more photos on my facebook account here. I just recently joined facebook but I love it as it's so much easier than blogging. So if you haven't started an account I encourage you to do so! Check out the paperthreads facebook account here to keep up to date on all our sales and promotions. Next up I'll look into Twitter.

I have signed up to do a collaboration with many of the other Paperthreads Designers so if you have a digital cutter you must go sign up for this membership now as it's a good deal and the proceeds go to fellow designer whose family is battling cancer right now.
