Halloween Invite Envelopes

Ok, so I received a request yesterday for instructions for my Halloween envelopes. And the good news is, you can use these for ANY envelopes... hahahahahaha! I'm a bit partial to the Halloween ones though... just so you know! LOL! So I'm going to go through the Martha Stewart way and then I'll post a link to a video using Scor Pal to create envelopes!

Now, I have some recent issues with Martha Stewart... but I'll go into that tomorrow. For the purposes of scoring or creating envelopes.... well, NOTHING beats Martha Stewart's Score Board. Aside from the fact that it only cost me $10 with a 50% coupon at Michaels, it also includes an ON-BOARD envelope template (LOVE) and a scoring/folding tool that ALSO stores ON-BOARD!!! Now the little trick with the Martha Stewart Score Board envelope template is that it also includes a little "cheat" that tells you how to make envelops from the #1 size envelope to the A2 envelope that I love so much, all the way to a #10 envelope. You can find the little "cheat" right on the ON-BOARD envelope template!!! So for the A2, I just slide the template on my score board, placed a sheet of 8.5" x 8.5" paper on my board and scored the opposing corners at 3" and 3 5/8". I clipped the triangles that were created by the "intersecting" (HEY! Geometry IS good for something!!!) score lines. Then I folded and adhered.... easy!

Here's how I decorated the back! :) For an awesome video on how to do envelopes using a Scor Pal, click HERE. Have a great one folks... "see" you tomorrow.

Goodbye and Hello

It has been a LONG time since I've suffered a loss that has shattered my heart to pieces, but I recently had to say goodbye to my 13 year old black lab baby. His name was Sunny and he really was the light of my life. We got him at the pound the day AFTER the pound neutered him at 5 weeks old!!! Needless to say, 2 days after we brought him home, the vet bill was already a whopping $900. Turns out that the surgery was quite difficult for him for two reasons: 1) he was way too young for it in the first place and 2) he had contracted valley fever from whatever environment he had come from. These two variables culminated to him breathing vomit during his surgery and developing asphyxiated pneumonia. The little cough that I noted while spending time with him at the pound developed into a VIOLENT cough over the next 48 hours. After two weeks of treatments from the vet, dropping him off at the vet each morning and then taking him home each night with his IV left in his arm and tap

Halloween! With Stampin Up's Words of Cheer

I went a little crazy when this bundle came.... the projects you're about to see were just FOUR that jumped out of me the first day of its arrival. Stay tuned... later in the week I'll be showing a couple more that resulted from the awesomeness that is this set!!!
