Papercraft Haven and More

I've got a blog post up - link below - on the Creative Paperclay Design Team Blog, with tips and hints to get you started in using this product with your paper craft supplies - such as templates, ink, paint, rubber stamps and basic creative supplies!!!  I create my own magnets, embellishments, and even more - using Creative Paperclay and Delight products!  Being on the team - I get to see so many fun things other people end up creating.....and I get to learn from them too!  I have a great set of tips up on the blog today  - check out the link below!!! Until next time, Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme and  Creative Paperclay Design Team

In yesterday's post, I had you look at your calendar from now until February, scroll down for that post when you are done here!!!!  If you have a lot of things going on at one specific time, it is nice to get cards made up ahead of time, to save yourself time - THEN!!!  Or for those moments you find out about a birthday, or someone is sick, or whatever - and you don't have the time to run to the store to pick one up!!!  I like to keep a stash of cards around for me to use when I need them the most - in various colors, styles and themes!!!  Plus if you purchase a great stamp set that has different sayings - you can create different cards with one set - or adding to another set!  This way you don't have to pick up a bunch of sets all at once, you can spread your purchases out over time!  I have a couple of other posts you might want to check out relating to making cards and the summertime challenge (turning into early fall)!!!!  Check out this one whi...

We all know these challenges are more for me than you - but I do see these are helping others based on the readers!!!  So - I have recently changed this from the middle of the month to the beginning of the month - and a bit more in the planning end of things!!!  Lets get started, grab all of your favorite utensils to organize your life with and lets get started in the planning!!!!   Take a look at your calendar for the next month and a half - until the middle of September!!!  What kind of things do you need to get planning for - purchasing for - thought out - etc???   Next take a look at your calendar for the next three months - until November - what kinds of things do you need to get ready for during this time? Lastly - take a look at the next 6 months for your calendar - until February - what kinds of things do you have going on that needs to be looked at??? As you look at your calendar, this isn't just for people who celebrate holidays, this is for...

This is going to be another one of those weekly posts for the next 3-4 weeks or so - in order to create your own planner!  It will be up to you to decide how YOU are going to do it - what supplies you are going to use and so on - but at the end of it all, you will have your own style of planner for what YOU need, and I will even give you some pages through the ne xt few weeks for you to use as you want to !  Lets get started!!! I have been doing my own planner p ages for the past few years, more because of the cost reasons than anything, now beca use I love doing them !!!  I had gotten a n email sen t from someone who got an email from someone else - it included a yearly calendar, plus a basic things to do page, a list of telephones and addresses page, as well as a design sheet for creative purposes!  I started with these, and the rest is h istory !   I used a few file folders that were a bit more used up, cut in half for each of the div i der' s and sectio...

I started making my own cards 25+ years ago, and hav en't st opped since!  I love to make one of a kind cards to give to my friends and family , either just because I want to - or for an event like their birthday!  Th e next few month's we are going to work on making a stash of cards for you to give out to your friends and family!  I have an upcoming class with Stampin ' Up that will help you get your stash started, more details to follow!!!  Along my journey making my own cards, I have learned a few things along the way - including: You don't need t o purchase everything you see - learn to refrain from buying everyt hing , but get what you w ill use for sure!   An 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock cut in half and then folded in half makes the perfect c ard bases for your cards!  Simply add a pack of envelopes and you are done!  As you make a layout for an event, and you have supplies left over - create a few cards t hat you can use later on...
