Here we are almost half way through June and I thought I posted the Specials!!  I had vacation on the brain that's for sure.  But here they are 2 great Specials!  Will have samples up next week!

Ok, last post got wiped out. UGH! Operator error! ; )  I can't believe it is Saturday already, thi vacation just flew by.  Ok, so I was able to make a card.  I know just 1.  I totally forgot my paper cutter. WOW, what a necessity that thing is.  I can't cut a straight line if my life depended on it.  BUT I did manage to pull out a card.  I usually don't post personal photos but I wanted to share some photos from vacation.  This first one is the view from our room, the last 3 are photos from our neighbors who so "kindly" left there breakfast out on the patio. The Sea Gulls loved it though. My son on the other hand wasn't Happy at all.  Anyway thanks for stopping by and I'll post my card in a few along with some more information.

Ok, I’ve wanted to post this for awhile now, I am obsessed with these little purses that I saw here EbethOnline So adorable and easy to make and they fit 2 nuggets in them.  If you have the 6 x 6 pad of SU Designer Series Paper, you can use your whole sheet and have no left overs. How you ask? Start by cutting a 1 x 6 strip, you have a 5 x 6 piece left cut that to make (2) 3 x 5 pieces.  The 1 x 6 strip you cut into 1 x 3 inch strip which will wrap around your nuggets! Voila, no scraps!  If you would like to see a visual please leave me a comment and I’ll post it. I’m so visual that pictures do help. Enjoy!

REVISION: I Forgot to mention that I used Velcro Dots to close the Holders. 1/2 of one.  Sorry about that!

Ok, are these to stinkin’ cute or what? I’m sending some to my Downline who are out of state and my Downline that is here will get these! As I said if you would like a visual as to how I cut the 6 x 6 don’t hesitate to leave me a comment or send me an email.  I don’t mind posting them at all! For directions click on the link above.  Thanks for stopping by!
