Good Morning Everyone!

I know, I know....No blog posts for the longest time. Soon I hope to be caught up on everything and be back to blogging and Take Out Tuesday's Ustream classes! Just been swamped with everything! Trust me...If I could, I would! I'm a one man show...Well, sometimes 2 man show when I'm lucky! LOL! It's just been NON-STOP for weeks now! But better busy than not...

Today, I would like to offer one of my very favorite albums EVER! I love this album. If you know me, I only make like one album a year and this is it!

The Archivist/Botanist Album is an awesome book for any occasion. A truly interactive album full of places for pictures, journaling, tags and even little tins to hold your keepsakes you have collected along the way. Great for your next expedition! This is a fantastic fun book to make for really anything!

Take Out Tuesday: The Document Holder

Good Morning Everyone!

It's been a world of crazy around the farm...sample making and kit cutting for upcoming classes in New York, North Carolina, Kansas and Canada...and I'm still working on it! LOL! That's Totally OK! I seem to work better with a bit of stress than not...Go figure!

This morning I started this post to talk about tomorrow's Take Out Tuesday Ustream Show. Then to remember I forgot to grab a camera! So, I took an hour out of the morning to search online. It's probably just me, but I can't get anything out of the descriptions, specs and so on! Maybe I have no idea what I'm looking for. Then it hit me! Call Cesar....LOL! I have an old Windows based laptop and can hook up my old camera to that! So that's what I'm going to do...Long story to just say, Tomorrow's Ustream Show is on and we are going to ROCK The Document Holder.

So, come on by tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. CST to join in making, I think, a very useful organization tool!

New Tutorial and Kits Done! The Document Holder...

Good Morning Everyone!

I just finished writing the tutorial and kitting this really cool project that I would like to share with you.

I call the project...Organization 101: The Document Holder! This is a no fuss, no muss project. Simple to make and VERY useful!

The Document Holder is a total necessity around my house! Where do you put all this papers, pictures, bills and ideas scribbled on napkins that seem to form stacks all over the house!?! Well, The Document Holder solves that issue. It's a rigid storage box that is labeled on the spine to easily identify the contents, tabbed on the inside for organization and will fit perfectly on a shelf or bookcase. A Great Idea for Home or Office! With this unique dowel binding you can SERIOUSLY put tons of stuff in The Document Holder and get it off your desk!

The Document Holder

This project is offered three ways... a tutorial that you can add your own ingredients to make... or a cut kit which means that all the pieces are precut for a perfect fit. Comes with with a Tim Holtz Correspondence paper pad, pre-taped structure strips, the metal label pull, and the divider papers, just about everything needed to make the project. Just add glue and a few common tools... or last, the pre-cut kit with the chipboard pieces and everything mentioned above MINUS the Correspondence paper pad so that you can add your own patterned paper to make it yours.

All the kits and tutorials can be found in my shop by clicking HERE for the tutorial
