Core Crop Challenge #5 (ornament tutorial)

You can check out the next challenge HERE. She did the cutest candy cane flower holder. I will definitely be doing this one!!!
The challenge: to use items you have on hand to create a home decor or gift item.

I decided to do a scroll ornament. Not as easy as I thought by I got the hang of it (no pun attended, lol)...

Real quick:
Cut 12 strips of cardstock @ 1/2" by 9 1/2"
Bend in half and roll down to the middle
One end will roll all the way down and the other half way
Take two pieces of scroll and glue the "long"side to the second piece's "short" side. Do this for all the pieced.
Add a string to the last piece for handing.
Punch out embellishment for the center.
Done!

Here is the finished ornament!

And what the hey, here is "my" tree in the living room. (the kiddos have "their" tree in the family room)

The family calls it my "flower arrangement" lol!!!

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Building Block Graduation Card

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 ...
