Be Unforgettable -- for The East Wind

It's Friday, which means there's a New Release today at The East Wind.  Every Tuesday and every Friday, Unky draws something fantastic for us to color up and create with.  Yes!

One of my favorite stories growing up was Anne of Green Gables.  I immersed myself in the stories and became Anne.  Here she is -- Anne with an 'E' --

Love, love, love this image!  I'm right back reading those books again when I see this.  

I colored up Anne with an 'E' with Copic markers. She had to have red hair.  I cut the image out with an oval die.  Then used some scalloped dies to create the rest of the card -- all from Spellbinders.

The papers on this card are all digital.  The are from Polkadoodles. The wooden dots have been in my stash for a long time, and are from Theresa Collins - Nine & Co. 

Join our The East Wind Facebook group to see what other design team members have done with this image, and to stay abreast of other new releases.  There's also a Facebook contest each month, and another contest on The East Wind blog.   Follow me HERE on Instagram.

Getting Organized in a 6x6 way

I'm posting today for The Cutting Cafe, where the inspiration post this time is about File Folder Box holders.

I used the larger file folder box holder cutting file.  When made, it holds 6x6 paper pads.  Depending on the thickness of the pads, I got 6-8 of them in one box.

Since I could use a LOT of these to organize all the 6x6 papers I own, I started out making 3 of them.

Here's a close up of the Christmas file folder Box Holder:

Here's the everyday paper one:

Look closely at the sides of the boxes.  There are 4 different options, and I used 3 of them.

Here's the 3rd file folder box holder - for Halloween and Fall papers:

There's more that comes with these files than I used, there's dividers, tabs, pockets, all kinds of organizational things.  Check out the Cutting Cafe blog on Sept. 21 for many more ideas on how to use this versatile and VERY useful file folder box holder template and cutting file.  Leave a comment on that blog, and you could win 3 sets of your choice (choose this one!).

2 winners for 200 followers! Plus a card or two!

I had a give-away going on my blog last week to celebrate my busy week of scrappiness -- posts everyday and two blog hops.  In the midst of it all, I reached and surpassed 200 followers, so I decided that was reason enough to give away two prizes.  I'll announce the winners shortly, but first, a card:

I've been wanting to try the chalkboard technique, and this stamp by Raisin Boat seemed like a good one to start with. The Oops a Daisy stamp set has some fun images.  I heat embossed this one, then offset is slightly with white ink.  I used some Twisted Teal twine from Trendy Twine (on sale this month!), die cut the word 'MOM' on my Silhouette, and added a couple buttons (Theresa Collins Spring Fling), strung with some Close to My Heart Waxy Flax. The base is Carta Bella Kraft paper.

So, that's my simple card to share with you, before I tell you the winners.  OK, enough of making you wait. Two winners, two prizes.  I used random.org to first choose which days to pick my winners from (days 4 & 5), then the commenters.  Winners are....

are you ready?....

Chris said:  These turned out great!I really love the colours! on day 4, and

Jennifer Mitten said: Love this - I love butterflies and can never get enough of them! on day 5.

Congrats to both winners!  Please let me know your addresses and I'll mail out your goodies for you.
