Shifting Gears ...

Why is it sooooo danged hard to recover from a vacation??? You workworkwork in getting ready to go ... then you playplayplay while you are gone. Coming back home it seems you are almost more tired from all the playing you did than you were from all the work it took to get there!! Why is that??? Sigh .... Our trip was fantastic!! Disneyland ALWAYS makes me happy!! It's totally/nearly IMPOSSIBLE not to have a good time in the Happiest Place On Earth. But, I digress ...

I created the pleated strip for this card by cutting out a piece of DSP (patterned paper) that was 1" x 12". Then, I scored at alternating intervals of 1" and 1/2". (Score your first vertical line at 1"; then at 1 1/2"; then at 2 1/2"; then at 3, etc.). Then, just fan-fold the strip of paper until it is as wide as your card front. Trim to fit. You can add a strip if you would like to make a horizontal or larger square card. Easy peasy ...

I should have the little treat box tutorial for you by the end of the week. Between catching up at work and having my mom headed in to the hospital today to have a pacemaker put in (FINALLY!), my week is a bit on the over-done side. We are quite confident that Mom's health should take a definite upswing after today's procedure. Sooo happy for modern science/medicine and those patient enough to learn how to perform such procedures.

TTFN!
