Valentine's Day Party Printables

It looks like I'm getting this posted just under the wire but it's still Friday! I missed it by 7 minutes! Arghhh. . . .

I ran into a bit of technical difficulty in Photoshop when I wanted to do something and couldn't figure out how to do it. This is nothing new mind you, and most of the time Google is my friend. Sometimes though, no matter what words you type in, nothing comes up that helps . . . and that's when you try to call an expert.

The only problem is, I don't know to many people who know Photoshop, and none who use it for design type things. They sensibly use Illustrator.

However, I still managed to make these fun Valentines printables based on 1 Corinthians 13:4a and 7.

Minus the cupcake wrappers though . . . No amount of Googling helped me figure out how to curve a rectangle. Boooo!

I'll be hosting a Valentine's Party of my own with these, although I'll be holding mine early so I won't conflict with anyone else's plan. Valentines Day may be about all kinds of love but the sweethearts still like celebrating with each other. ;D

I'm going to bring these to Staples to have them printed. It will be a whole lot cheaper and they print much nicer than my home printer.

I hope you all enjoy these. If you use them for a party, share with everyone and post them on my Facebook page!

Enjoy!

A Big Thank You and a Free Gift for Everyone.

I wanted to thank everyone who gave me such great ideas for garden classes. It was good to know many of them were things I had already planned on.

 There were also some I hadn't thought of and a few of them had my mind spinning off in new directions!

So again, a big thank you to everyone who participated!

As promised, I have drawn a name from everyone who left a comment and we have a winner . . .

Congratulations  Sigrun! Send me an email with your address and I'll send you your thank you Dutch Birthday Calendar just as quickly as I can.

Also as promised, I have a gift for everyone who sent me ideas. I have been thinking about this for a while and finally figured out how to make it possible.

I have a free printable for everyone who helped me out!

This is a pretty big one and will only be offered this once and only for a short time.(The link will be live through August 11 just in case some of you are on holidays) I am in the process of learning how to make other types of printables and hope to offer more in the future.

In the mean time  . . . here's the link to a downloadable Dutch Birthday Calendar file. It's pretty large so it takes a little bit to load.      Dutch Birthday Calendar Printable.  I do ask that you not share this file with anyone. I am happy for you to make more than one copy if you would like to give it as a gift  but the file itself is only for you to use. Between taking the photos, editing them and making a template for the calendar it took up quite a lot of my time and I would rather not have it end up floating around on the web somewhere.

Thanks for understanding.

You can print this out on your printer on  81/2 x 11" card stock or photo paper. There are two calender pages on each sheet so you will need to cut down the center of the page for each one. Add a hole (or two) at the top of every page and tie them together with twine or a pretty ribbon and voila! A Dutch Birthday Calendar!

Some of you might be kicking yourselves right about now. You intended to leave me an idea or perhaps the sight of this lovely calendar has caused a garden class idea to pop right into your head . . .

No worries . . . Just leave an idea in the comments (and yes Ev, telling me all my ideas are fabulous and you haven't got anything better counts. ;D ) and download away!

Make sure you tune in on Monday for a don't miss tutorial that mixes Superstore,  flowers, moss and a feminine hygiene product in a most unusual way.

Until then . . . Have a great weekend!
