Black Friday Success!

By

I cheated a little, maw-ha-ha!!!
My phone rang 1:30 am, it's was my brother and he was at Walmart with a couple of friends. They decided to stay up, and our 24 hr store was letting people fill their buggies with all the good deals and wait to check out at 5 am. I gave him my whole list over the phone, and he was my personal shopper! I got everything without standing in the cold or long lines!!!

Chris was going to go to Target at 3am but since my brother called, he figured he would just get up and go. He got there at 2:45am and the line was already 50 people deep. His co-workers were all laughing at him as they came in (of course, he was standing by the employee door). He had his "trail"all mapped out! He was happy too because everyone he was standing around was able to get what they wanted. He was telling them where everything was located in the store.

Chris and I did great! He went to Target at 2am. He was able to get one of the 26, 32 inch TVs along with my new camera and a dirt devil. We lucked out, because, with his discount, the tv was $220, camera $78, dirt devil was free!!!! ...Almost forgot, he got a Zuze Zue pet (sp?) Impulse buy, but it is so cute now he has to get two more before Christmas!

I headed to Michael's and bought the Sizzix embossing machine, scrapbook storage, embossing folders and ribbons. With my coupons, it was like buying the machine and getting everything else including tax for free!!!

Later, My brother and I went to Walmart together, and I was able to get jammies and track suits for $3!!!

Overall, a very successful shopping day and we were UNDER budget!!!! Looking forward to next year!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
