Sp VERY sorry for the mix-up. I've had some distractions and somehow lost an entire week - way too busy!!  I'm going to make this money card and get it posted tonight. 11/21/15

Some time ago, I stumbled on a You Tube video by Stephanie Davis  how to make a Polariod Money Card.  I love the idea and have been wanting to do this card and just discovered the cricut cuts just happens to be the letter X of the Artistry Cricut Cartridge pg. 32.

Here is Stephanie's blog post for the money card.  She also shares her Design Space file (free).

Here's another Polariod card tutorial that I'm pinning.  This one's a Polariod Shaker Card by Pam Watson of Stellar Crafts by Pam

Everything ABC's blog hop - letter W

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop

Since I'm drawing a blank and need something really FAST! I thought of the One Sheet WONDER 8 Pocket Mini Album.  It actually makes a W when it's cut before gluing

" Why? do I need something fast? 

The What -- It's the CTMH Album Retreat!  

Where?  Salt Lake City.  

Who will be there?  

Your's truly with so many CTMH friends! 

When? Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  

This is why I love being a CTMH consultant, 

it just doesn't get any better.

The album isn't only a Wonder... When it's cut correctly it makes a "W"

It's scored at 3,6, & 9, turn and scored again at 3,6, & 9. So you have horizontal and vertical scores creating a three inch grid.

Cut on the left top on the 3 inch score line towards the bottom up to the 3 inch score, the middle cut is up the paper on the 6 inch score line to the 9 inch score and the right side cut was cut down the 9 inch score line up to the 3 inch score line.

This album would make a great "new baby brag book".

I'm having trouble posting photos that look ok on my desktop and when I upload them they flip up-side down.  Any one have that problem?  

To embellish the inside, I used Picture My Life Cards, and some Fundamental Assortment (Peacock).

Traci's web site also has picture instructions.  However, I discovered they have an error that she points out in the video.  It's easiest to follow the video though it's lengthy.  I actually like Naomi Smith's One page Wonder better and will look for a link.

For my Fundamental Project, I decided to use the Fundamental papers for my roomie gifts at the CTMH Album Retreat.  The treat box is made with a full 12 X 12 paper, using the Adventure colors, Lagoon, Gypsy, and Hollyhock.  The topper is the reverse side, cut at 6 X 4, folded in half and the two long edges scalloped using a corner rounder.  The flowers are made from 3 or 4 unevenly cut "circles" cut into different sizes. Each "circle" is spritzed with water and wrinkled into a "spit-wad", opened and finger shaped into petals.  The center fo the flower is a small gold glitter dot from the Fundamental Assortment Gold.  After the treat bag is filled, it is tied shut with Whisper Thick Twine.
