I just got home from spending another week in the hospital, so I don't have a "new" craft for you today. I'm trying to just rest and recoup. :) Although, I did go to JoAnns today, just to get out of the house and walk around a bit. Not too long ago...I'd say a month or two tops... my local JoAnns stores all dedicated an entire aisle to Martha Stewart Craft Products. It was pretty cool because they have everything coordinating and organized. BUT! Today, at one of my local stores, EVERYTHING Martha Stewart was on clearance!! AT LEAST 50% off!! There were some GREAT buys!! Like those punch sets that are called something like, "Punch Around The Page" where you get 3 matching punches, including the corners.. were only $12!! The big glitter sets were about $10.00 (the ones with 24 tubes of glitter!!) Even the paper stacks were under $9.00! Amazing deals!! Just thought I'd share that in case your local stores are having the same deals going on.....you don't want to miss out!! I wonder if they are discontinuing her stuff at JoAnns?? I know she is coming out with an all new line for HSN (I believe it's HSN.......it could be QVC.......nah, I'm pretty sure it's HSN.)
Soooo it's safe to say that I went over my crafting budget today! But hey, I did get some AMAZING I wanted to buy one of everything, but hey...I had to show SOME self-control!! Lol!
And now for my project!!!!
Not too long ago, I made four coupon organizers. Of course, being the scatterbrain that I am, I gave them away without snapping pictures of them!! UGH!! So, luckily one was for my sister-in-law, so I was able to get some pictures of it last week!! :) I had fun making these, and think they turned out real cute! (And hey, bonus...practical!!)
Here's the cover:
The inside pages/pockets are made form 12 x 8 1/2 sheets of paper. I folded the bottom up 3 3/4 inches to measure 8 1/4 x 8 1/2...then folded it in half so the final product is 8 1/4 x 4 1/4.
Here is what the inside pockets look like:
The Mickey Heads for each pocket were cut at 3 1/4" and I cut the shadow feature as well.
I tried to use very common/basic themes to organize the coupons. I also left a few in the back blank for them to write in something more specific to their shopping needs. There are 10 pockets, so 5 sheets of paper were used.
Here is the back cover:
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! Remember, if you like Martha Stewart products, make sure to check out your local JoAnns!! Maybe they will have all of her products on Super-Cheap-Clearance too!!
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week!!!!
