I have done a lot today!

Is 1 pm here and I have done a lot! I work with the hostess clubs projects, I shipped most of them today (I still waiting for a box), I designed the MC Club Kit (is looking GREAT!) and I did a little bit of house cleaning! I am going to take a bath now to keep rolling with all the things I want to do today: I need to finish the MC Club kit to be ship on Tuesday, read, organize a Stamping 101 day and something more, lol! Plus play with the girls, cook the dinner and more family stuff!! I called this a productive day, what you think?

Here is the package I did to put the Bundle of Joy Cards on it! Is a clamshell that I embellish a little bit and that is!

A Little Bit about Memory Crafter Club

What is the MCC? is a Project Monthly Kit I start doing in January.

What is there included? I send enough products to do at least 3 projects (it could be a mini album, a card, a mini cards set, tags, wall hanging project, and much more!) and a PDF document send to you by e-mail with the instructions and pictures of the projects.

What date the kit is mail? The kit is out the 25th of each month! I really love this club so the people is suscribed to it! ALL the 3 month suscribers renewed for another 3 months, so that said something, right? I am not going to share instructions here since is an EXCLUSIVE club, but I am going to share today what was included on the Second Edtion!

The club is only $24.95/ 3 months and that includes shipping to USA and PR. If you are interested, just sent me an e-mail with your paypal address and I will send you an invoice.

Mini Purse Scallop Tutorial

Hey, Mother's Day is almost here! so if you need to dome quick and simple yet a cute gift! here is something you can try!

You need a 4 X 4 piece and 2 scalloped punches for each mini purse you need.

First: Score the scallops at 2. Stamp or embelish one of the scallops piece as you want.

Second: Score the 4 X 4 pieces at 1½ and 2½, turn the piece and score at 1 and 3. With this you are going to make a little box as you may see in the template!

Third: Add the scallops to the box and embellish more if desired.

Note: For the handle cut a little bit of cardstock and you can attach it with glue dots or brads, depends on what you are going to give inside of them!

Hope you like it and give it a try! this is super cute and very easy to do!! If you want to get the products for make this, you can go to my store to get them: Giga Scalloped Circle Punch, Scor Pal, Kraft Cardstock, Audrey Embelishment Jar, Angelee Paper Collection.

Did you forget something?

Oh, well!! I did and I feel terrible. I tried to remember everything, and I used to do so, but I guess I can't do that anymore! What do I forget? To send a card!! I will love to have all dates in my mind and that something sound whenever I need to send a card (about 3 days before?). But that's not happening! I need to be more organized. What system do you use? What works for you? I really need something! I am going to try to add everything to my Palm and that way I can get an alert! That sounds cool; the problem now is to get everything together to add it there, lol! Should I put an announcement here, on Twitter, Facebook and my yahoo groups asking for birthday’s date to all my friends? That way I can add them right away, right? Please give me some advice! I need to work this out so I don’t miss anyone’s important dates!

Here is the card I did in NO time, since the mailman was around the corner and I didn’t want to loose any more time to send a card to my friend! Hope she likes it! I used Catelynne papers and Ordinary Greetings!

OUCH!!! Today was a really LONG day! We went out today with the idea of pay the cell phone bill (the one with the company we used to be for more than 7 years! and that we didn't have any contract now! for my surprise when I tried to pay on the authomatic machine it said that my balance was more than $700 so I called customer service and they said that my contract was until 2009! wich I'm sure isn't so I wait for 2 hours to be attended for a cs representative! she reminds of us (long story) so she just added a note in the system (because our account was cancelled, we switch company) so she couldn't do more than that, then she put me on the phone with the Financial dept! and the adjust me the account (well I need to wait 2 biz day to be sure of this) wow more than 3 hours there!! so our shopping trip was reduced now he left almost 4 hours later because we need to have lunch! we headed to another town wich is about an hour to go shopping (some outlets stores) we finished the shopping time around 6:30 and we came back home!

I cooked something quick and started working here on my workshop I cut about 6 of this project but I'm so tired!! that I just put together this 3!! Hope you like it, there are post-it note holders!! I did them with the scor-pal.

How to?

With a 7½ x 3½ cardstock, score at 3½ and 4. Then embelished as desire! Easy peasy!! right?

I need to run, I'm sooooooooo TIRED, the problem with the cell phone company just took a lot of my energy, the lady at customer service through the phone was soooooo NASTY!! that I was sooo UPSET!! lol, now I just can laugh about it!! Have a great weekend!

Love,
Diana
