2026 Mini Calendar Designs

-

For the last 15 years I have been making these Mini CD Jewel case calendars.  These are the designs for this year.  

For me coming up with designs are the most difficult part.  Sometimes ideas come to me in the middle of the night and everything goes smoothly, then sometimes it takes me forever to come up with a design.  This year I had the December design in my head before I even started January.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the first time I kept track of the amount of time and the supply costs. I always knew that if I charged my customers the labor involved no on would want to purchase my calendars, even if I used minimum wage as the labor cost.  Just the coloring along for October took me 8 hours.  Uffda!!!

I'd love to hear which are your favorites.  I also have my past calendars on Pinterest.

Nailed It! - Fun Toolbox card!

Hi friends, It's been a while since I posted.  The last of March and April, so far, have been eventful.  I had a dear uncle and cousin, both passed away on the same day.  They were uncle and nephew to each other. My favorite uncle, on my mom's side, was 97 when he pass.  My cousin, was 87.  I am close with one of his daughters.  Ironically last year at my dad's funeral I handed her a card for her birthday at my dad's funeral.  This year, at her dad's funeral, she hand delivered one to me.  My birthday rested between both of their funerals.  So I was gone for a week for the funerals and visitations. After I got back it took me a week to  recoup, due to my chronic fatigue.  Well, I rested up enough to attend Stampin' Ups Onstage Local in Minneapolis!  What a blast!  (I'm still recouping) Lots of fun new products to play with and got the NEW 2017-2018 catalog .  I was able to place my Pre-Preorder!  Demonstra...

Inserting Images into Blogger Side by Side

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I have been using Blogger to show photos of my creations and the product used in them.  I've been very frustrated trying to get them lined up side by side.  For months, I have literally spent hours at a time trying every conceivable method trying to get it to work, and I'm fairly computer literate. I have even created a database in Access with forms to enter my Stampin' Up! supplies, which was much easier than trying to get my photos into Blogger lined up. Today, after watching a video on YouTube by Roberto Matthews I came up with this.  He uses html/code and I would really prefer something a little easier and quicker.  This is a video tutorial on what I came up with.  It uses Microsoft Word and Blogger.  I hope you find this helpful.   A Nice Cuppa   Bloomin' Love   Candy Cane Christmas Cookie Cutter Halloween Images by ...

Fun Fold: Side Panel Card

Image
April has always been a busy birthday month for me.  About 2 or 3 cards a week about 12 in total.  This month would have also been my mother's 95th birthday, we lost her a year and a half ago. In addition, I have also been sending out cards for sympathy, 5 so far this month, all not related to the pandemic.  A friend lost her father, a cousin died of cancer so cards for his two brothers and wife and  a former coworker his son. I've also sent out Thinking of You cards to people who are alone and shut in and a Get Well card to a friend from church who fell and injured herself. I also just remembered I need to make a card for my grandson, marking the 1st anniversary of his baptism. The other day I was looking for card ideas and clicked on this link, not even sure how I got there.  :-) But it was for a fun fold she called a Side Panel card.  It was in a 5" x 7" format.  Since all of my cards, typically are of the A2 size 4-1/4" x 5-1/2.  I de...
