Sites of the week

It’s not Friday…as if you needed a reminder of that! However, I do have an ABC project for you. This is a Crafter’s Card File {on sale!} from Glue Art & Paper Studio. I have been on their design team for a long time, but as a whole, we have taken a bit of a hiatus. Now, we are back in biz-ness of creating something each month. I last saw these wonderful ladies at the Great American Scrapbook Show in Arlington and that is when Vicki showed me a set that she had done covered with “leather” paper. I knew that I had to give it a try. I picked up this red “leather” paper at JoAnn. They have several colors, and if I recall correctly, there are a few textures, as well. I picked this one because I had just seen a very expensive desk set done with real red leather and I just thought that it looked so slick. The rest of the color inspiration comes from a summer dress that I saw when I was out shopping not too long ago.

Since the rolodex is pretty much obsolete, having been replaced by technology, these are pure crafty-ness! There are so many ideas for these. I plan to use mine as a inspiration/sketch-o-dex. When I am in need of inspiration or a sketch, I can flip through here {or maybe blindly pull one out} and have an idea at hand. One of the ladies at the LSS said that she wanted to make a quote “book” for her kids out of this. I have also seen bible verses, recipes and various other ideas being used with these card files {they come in different sizes, too!!}.
