WOYWW#189 and Palm Trees in February

It's WOYWW#189 time!  The world wide blog hop that starts Here: http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ on Julia Dunnits terrific blog!  Grab a cuppa and join in!

Today I have been busy getting ready for a swap on Saturday, the regular crew of stamping friends, this time we are getting together to swap card kits and make kits for troops.  I enjoyed making that trifold card so much earlier, I decided to make 15 kits of these for the swap and another 20 for my card stash.

 

 

For the card Kits I will bring and assortment of saying and images along with coordinating ink pads.  For my stash I will file them and then pull them as they are needed and use the appropriate sentiments/images.  With having the bases made I can personalize the cards very quickly. 

 

 

 

This batch required a lot of cutting and scoring and folding, but I really like the results!                         I started this earlier in the day

 

 

 

It must have been overwhelming for my staff:

 

Tink just couldn't take it any more.

 

After all that cutting I decided to get my solid colored card stock under control:

 

I went through my solid and put them all in this file folder.  I will only keep what fits in this folder, the rest go in a big box that goes to another stamping friend for her use .  Designer prints go in this :

 

 

and that gets emptied about every six months, if I haven't used it in that time, I'm not going to and those scraps go to the same friend.  I do however use most my scraps, I make a LOT of cards!

 

The last project that I am still working on is transfering this years information onto a new calander, I am trying to combine books of brithdays and anniverseries onto a calendar.

 

I couldn't help but sigh when I saw the next months photo, Palm Trees and Ocean!!  I would love to be there!!  Out side it is starting to snow and then I will be shoveling with Steve

But is is good, I will come into a warm and happy home and that is better by far than palm trees and oceans, of course being there with Steve kicking sand would be nice too! Contentment is a great thing, it turns the everyday into it's own form heaven here on earth.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful week!
