Hey folks!

I have a new HOW TO for you guys.  I’ve been talking to tons of folks who either –don’t want to buy lots of craft products to make a card or  don’t want to pay  extra shipping on a card with lots of stuff on it. 

The solution is a ONE LAYER CARD.   

This is a very basic card, there are tons MORE you can do to dress them up like embossing, texturing, adding bling, etc…

So the video tutorial on how to do that is below.  First I need to ask your help!  You guys know Im not all decoratey girly girl, right?  I mean, I am all the time asking for your help on decorating and stuff.  So now I have another question.

I have no idea how I ended up looking at sectional sofas the other day but I did.  You know, one blog leads to another blog, leads to a site, leads to a sale, leads to a stupid wishlist!  LOL!!!   Ok, so I don’t know why I browsed but I did, it was probably that big flashing SALE sign, and now I want THIS.  

Now before you ooooo and ahhhh…  I have to tell you I already have a a sectional   Its like NEW condition still.  It was my Grans.  The problem I have with it, is that its HUGE.  Like as big as my living room huge!  See… takes up 2 entire walls.

My sectional goes nearly all the way to the wall there where Gran is sleeping.  Her legs are going over half a “hide-a-bed”.  the couch extends on to the left, the other half the hida-a-bed, and HUGE corner like loveseat piece that wraps to the left and then a recliner.  Its HUGE.

So my question is:  If you had a perfectly good sectional, would you consider getting a different one.  I mean the one I have is fine, its just crazy huge.  It even has sentimental value.  But the one I found is AWESOME.  No, its GORGEOUS.  And its small enough it wouldn’t take up my WHOLE living room!  It is kind of high, BUT not for a sectional, and and… its ON SALE and they deliver for FREE.  But $800 would sure buy a lot of crafting supplies.  Shoot, food even!  Plus I have dogs.  And Kids.  Would buying a new couch even make sense?

Before you say it, I already thought about just taking out the hide-a-bed part, but then its too little.  LOL!

Ok, ok, enough of my inability to not only decorate but to DECIDE. LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s the video.  Hope it watchable quality.  If you knew how many different ways and times I converted it for this post you would DIE!  LOL!  Actually, at the time of this post its STILL uploading! bwahaha!!!  So if its not here yet, just try again in a bit.  It will work, eventually!

Now, want to win this set of cards?
There is another set up for grabs HERE too!
(Plus a review of Mrs Martha Stewart paper punches…)

To enter just reply to THIS POST by SUNDAY May 23rd, 2010 and tell me: When you make cards, do you make a lot of ONE LAYER cards or do you go all out with embellishments and stuff?  And When you receive a card, do you more like flat one layer cards or big crazy cards?  Shoot, do you even like to get/give cards?   Make sure to comment with your name and a WORKING EMAIL address so I can get your shipping address if you win.

Ok,  I’m out.  It has been an incredibly LONG day.
