The Everything ABC's Blog Hop Letter D



Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter D. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their D element will be featured in their post.


 This is the BEGINNING of the hop so you are in the right place!

My project featuring the letter D is for Dave Ramsey!


By now many of you have heard of Dave Ramsey and the Total Money Makeover, if you haven't check it out HERE Well, I have not taken the class but I have decided to try the envelope system that he talks about.  Of course I can not have plain ol' fuddy duddy envelopes so I created some fancy schmancy ones of my own using a template found HERE and printing it on Close to my Heart paper. 

I chose to use an older paper pack that I have been wanting to use up called Emporium.  The great thing about our paper packs is that they coordinate so well together that it was a cinch to whip these up.  Here are the steps that I did:

  1. Choose paper pack and cut down to 8 1/2 x 11.
  2. Using template print out onto paper.
  3. Cut out template and using Tombow adhesive adhere bottom and side flaps.
  4. Print out labels from same site and punch out with 1 1/4" punch. (I printed mine out on Avery sticky label paper to save time)
  5. Adhere to 1 3/8" punched scallop circle (or use Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out scallops).
That's it!  Super easy, super fun and super fancy.  The labels I chose are groceries, gas, fun, haircuts & personal care, and eating out.  You can make as many envelopes as you would like to fit your needs.


Here is a peek into my grocery envelope. 

 I did not want to create an envelope for each week so  I used 3 x 5 index cards folded at different points to put four weeks into one envelope.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and let me know if you have used/plan to use the envelope system.

Today I am bringing you a project featuring the use of Cereal boxes!  I saw a post on Pinterest showing an organizer for the fridge.  We are a very heavy paper clutter household so I jumped on the opportunity to create this fun and easy project pictured ... Here is how I made my project: Remove all flaps from top of cereal box Make a cut at 45 degrees on each side of box from top back to front Cut paper for covering box to size, your dimensions may vary depending ont he size of box you choose.  For my Fiber One box it was 8" (h)  x 11" (w) I then scored the paper at 2" and 9" to make it easier to wrap around the box Using tombow adhesive I lined up the paper and adhered it to the box For the inner ...
