The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

VALENTINE'S CARD - FRONT VIEW
I made this pretty accordion-fold card tonight for The Pink Stamper's Blog Hop (which started last night), and I thought I'd share it with you, along with the instructions:
1. Cut a 5 1/2" x 12" piece of plain cardstock (I used white).
2. With a score-pal or a scorer of some type, score at 1", 2", 4", 6" and 9". The 9" piece is the top.
3. Fold top down, next piece up, alternating (see picture).
4. Cover the folded areas with decorative paper.
5. To make the little pocket for the message, cut a plain piece of cardstock 2 3/4" x 5 3/4".
6. Fold both long sides and one short side in 1/4" and glue on the folded areas. Place piece on second space from the top with the opening facing the right.
7. Cut another piece of plain card stock small enough to fit inside this pocket - about 2 1/4"x 5 1/2" and attach a small tab or ribbon (I used a pink ribbon) for a pulley. Insert this with your message inside the pocket you have made.
8. Decorate the folds with some hearts and other embellishments so they stick out a little over the top of each fold. Enjoy!!
Hugs, Judy
