Shelli's progress....

Many of you have asked about Shelli Gardner and wondered how she is doing since the accident several months ago.  For those of you who don't know, Shelli fell from her horse and then the horse rolled over her when she and her husband were on a trail w others in the Grand Canyon.  She was air lifted to a hospital in SLC where she spent several weeks.  She posted on her blog recently so I thought I would let you know that she is doing much better.  She is a very positive lady and has a strong supportive family ~ plus all of us praying for her and wishing her well.  I think you will be happy to see this picture of her and her daughters on a weekend get together.  She looks fabulous, doesn't she?

Shelli & her Founder's journal
Shelli and her get well journal from her friends at Founder's Circle.
While we were at Founder's Circle, we created a special journal for her.  This was the first FC she had missed so we wanted to let her know how much we missed her.  Thanks for keeping her in your prayers.  Susan Elise

I am looking forward to seeing everyone today for our first meeting of the RECIPE SWAP as they stop by to pick up their albums and create the cover design.  There are ten participants so no one will have to worry about finishing their recipe swap pages!  Our second meeting is Sunday afternoon, November 10 ~ we all bring our swap pages and our yummy food to taste!  I am working on some possible designs and here are the two that I have started.............

Recipe swap 2..........
Beginning of my Fall cover decoration

Recipe swap begins...
Beginning of my holiday album cover...


The album is from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday catty, you can find it on page 22.  It is an 8 x 8 ring album (#132259, $14.95 includes 10 page divided page protectors).  And, we are using Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to create the cover.  These sheets create a great sticky surface that works will with the album cover and the embellishments.  Because we will all be using the recipe album in the kitchen we need to be assured of the durability of the albums.

This is one of the cards from my THIRD THURSDAY CLASS this week.  I wanted to take the opportunity to use the new THINLITS CARD DIES.  These dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step!  The dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs so you can use them on other projects, not just for flip cards.

1.  Cut Smoky Slate 5 ½” x 8 ½” for your base card.  Cut DSP 2” X 5 ¼”.  Adhere this panel to the right side of Smoky Slate.  Use your adhesive on three sides of the DSP ~ not the side that cuts the circle!

2.  Put Smoky Slate w DSP panel under the framelit to cut out the flip circle (figure 1).  The half circle of DSP will be cut off (figure 2).

3.  The other end of the card stock will be on top of the framelit which allows you to have an extra panel on your card (figure 3).  It will score automatically so that you can fold it easily.
