I hope you and your family are having a SAFE and HAPPY Thanksgiving!
These are cards I made a week or so ago and just haven’t had a chance to post! If I remember correctly, I went off of a sketch on a blog…but I can’t remember where now! ha!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog today to check out my project! Today is a day of FIRSTS! I have made my very first of two projects - an easel card and a mini pizza box! I was a little intimidated by both of them, but they are EASY! I’ll even give you measurements here! :o)
This is my "off" week with The Character Cafe, so I'm entering this into the Verve Stamps challenge!
A photo of the easel card ‘closed’.
For the Easel Card – makes a 4” card
First, figure out what cardstock and patterned paper you’re going to use! Once you’ve done that, decide how you’re going to layer the papers!
Measurements:
Directions:
*To make an A2 sized card, cut your 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock at 4.25”, then fold in half at 5.5” to get a card where the front flips up rather than opening on the right hand side. Score at 2.75” and fold to make your mountain fold (like below). The sizes above won’t work for this size card, but you’d just adjust your sizes down by 1/4” for each layer. Hope that helps. If not, leave me a comment here with your email address and I’ll email you back!
For the Mini Pizza Box – makes a 4x4 box
This is an EXPENSIVE project, so brace yourself!!! You’ll need ONE sheet of 8.5x11 paper, adhesive and whatever embellishments you want to use! Yes, that’s it! Expensive, huh? LOL
Measurements:
Directions:
See? It really is easy! :o)
Now, the details of my supplies are a little “fuzzy”. I don’t know where the patterned paper came from! It was in a Christmas paper stack, but unfortunately I don’t know which one! I took them out of the stack and put them into a bag of Christmas papers and embellishments several months ago…dumb idea!
Please make sure you check out all of our other DT members blogs to see what they have done this week!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to my friend, Fran, for emailing me this information! I’d been doing this in Inkscape and taking crazy steps to put it into PSP to be able to save it as a PNG file! I haven’t tried her steps yet…not enough hours in the day…but she is very thorough with her instructions. If you happen to have any questions or run into trouble, please let me know and I’ll relay the information to her!
Oh, thought I’d also add that I *did* get permission from Fran to post this information on my blog! She doesn’t have a blog yet, but said she may set one up in the near future. Maybe if she gets enough feedback from this post we can get her to do more tutorials!?!?! So, leave comments to let Fran know exactly how much you love her tutorial and how much you’d LOVE to see her do more! ;o)
1. Open PSP and new image.
2. Click on the Preset Shapes option on your toolbar.
3. You should now see your Preset Shape window. Select Ellipse to draw your circle. See my dimensions below.
4. Draw the size circle you need for the text you will be using. Remember to hold the Shift Key down as you draw the
circle so that it is round in shape.
5. Click on the Font Option on the Toolbar.
6. Take your mouse and place cursor on the line of the circle and you should see this
image. 
text around the circle in the Text Entry Window. The second image shows my results.
7. Now lets get rid of the Selection Square around your circle and the circle too. You do this by:
Clicking on Selections (top of the screen toolbar) Select None---Square is gone!
Now in order to get rid the circle you have to go to your Layer Palette. Click on the layer option as indicated
in the visual below.
8. After you click on the layer palette option you should see this window.
9. See the Red Xs below. Click on the glasses icon next to ellipse and background.
red X in the right hand corner of the Layer Palette to get rid of the window.
10. You should see your text in a circle on a transparent screen.
This may look tedious at first but once you practice you will get the hang of it.
Thanks for stopping by today! Check back again soon!
Thanks for stopping by! My sneak peek today for The Rusty Pickle is BABY SHOES!!! These baby images are just TOO CUTE! For this project, I chose to do another girl card. I know! I know! But I just love girly, lacy, frilly cards…which is very weird, because I’m not a girly, lacy, frilly kind of person! I wear jeans & t-shirts most of the time and rarely wear anything dressy. I guess you could say I’m living my “frilly-ness” through my cards!

Image was cut out and popped up on three layers of CS with foam tape.
