To be entered for this Blog Candy drawing, all you need to do is comment below — nothing more than that today!!! Nice and simple!!! This post will be closed for Blog Candy entries at 6:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2008. Shortly thereafter a random winner will be selected by random.org. The winner will be posted both on this thread and at Party Central. OK, now on to my project:
Once again, HUGE THANKS go out to the folks at JustRite!!! They know how much I love the various fonts and rectangle stampers, so they are most generous in allowing me to give some away to you!!! This time we have the Times New Roman Font (3 sizes in a box) and the Rectangle Stamper Set (2 wooden blocks in a set, one large and one small). Times New Roman is one of the fontsI used on my project for today. And before I show you my project, once we are talking JustRite, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you about a sale they have going on — and the sale is especially for all of you Blog readers — they are grateful for their Blog traffic (which comes from YOU) and wanted to offer you a special. You may read about it here.
OK, now let’s move on to my project for today. I played as a sample maker for LeAnne’s Challenge, which you can read more about on LeAnne’s Blog. But basically, she provided us with templates for her Mother’s Holiday Helper which is made from a basic pocket file folder. Well, the only pocket file folders I had at home were neon colors or school colors with school logos – not QUITE what I had in mind. At Deb’s suggestion, she told me they had some plain kraft pocket folders at Office Max. Well, they sure did, plus they had some kraft folders that had designs on them, so I chose one of those. Here’s what I bought and used for this project.
The folders had designs in white, while all the complimentary pieces had black accents — now WHY didn’t they make them all the same??? I’m really into matchy/matchy — LOL!!! Anyway, I figured I could make them work. And rather than follows LeAnne’s very cool template, I decided to make a gift for a friend — sort of an organizer for craft needs — you know those lists we all keep? I just wanted to make something to contain lists and notes of our crafting needs so when we go shopping everything is contained in one place. Here’s a look at the completed inside of my folder.
Isn’t it fun? I LOVED making this!!! My brainy idea here to make this a little different than a normal folder was to create a spine. See it? It functions very well, allowing plenty of room for all my little pads and notebooks and whatever else one might throw in there. The spine is 1″ and it was created very easily with my Scor-It. Takea look.
See the center line? That is the line, the fold, that came on the folder. All I did was score 1/2″ on each side of that line, giving me a 1″ spine. Score with the right side down so that your score folds properly. This kraft folder is VERY thick. I don’t know how thick, but MUCH heavier than 110# cardstock. To score this on myScor-It was totally effortless. In places I scored over 2 thicknesses — no problem at all. I got perfect score lines and my folder now had a totally functional spine!!! Now to create a *pretty* spine, this is what I did.
I cut 3 strips of black cardstock, 11 x 7/8″. Leave 2 of them the full 11″ long and cut the 3rd one in half. Each half will be 5.5″ long. Now score these 2 shorter pieces right in the middle, which is 2 3/4″. Adhereone of the 11″ strips right in the center of the spine. It won’t reach all the way, so just center it. Do the same on the outside of the spine. Now here’s where the little scored piecescome in. Corner round the ends of these 2 little pieces and they’ll look more like tabs. Now,just adherethem, top and bottom. They fold around the top or bottom, covering both sides. Can you follow me? In the photo the bottom is done, but the top still needs to be covered with the tab. Easy!!! It hides that unsightly midde*original* seamline and it sturdies up the spine — PERFECT!!!
And here’s a look at the completed spine on the outside. Can you see the rounded tabs? I just added some pewter brads to make it look a bit more finished off. I LOVE this spine — it was EASY, FUN and added great FUNCTION to my folder. I chose pewter brads because the little clips that went with this set were sort of grayish/pewtery in color.
Here’s a look at the cover of my folder. The sentiment is from the JustRite Harmony Circle Stamper III Ensemble. (This is one of thesale items right now!) I omitted the outer ring and used my Labels 1 Nestabilities by Spellbinders to cut the sentiment out. As I’ve said before, you have a lot of options with your JustRiteimages/sentiments — they don’t all HAVE to be used in a round or oval format. I added some little rhinestones. The DP is by K and Co., (Margo) and it is edged with black. I used the Martha Stewart scallop punch on the right and then punched holes with my Cropadile. My favorite 1.5″ May Arts striped ribbon is adhered with 1.5″ wide double sided tape to the back and spine of the folder. It easily ties and unties for use.
Just showing a close up with some detail.
This is the inside left. I covered the inside with the K & Co. paper (Margo). I thought this rather vintage looking old paper design would go well. I then stamped the larger words in Times New Roman Font using my Rectangle Stampersand Charcoal Palette Ink. I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to get them positioned as I wanted. My Stamp-a-ma-jig is home made. I should show it to you sometime! A friend made it from left over window trim during a house remodel. She made about 10 of them and gave them to all of us here. She purchased the sheets from SU and we are good to go. This is the SAME friend who is making a Cuttlebug out of an old wringer washer — I KID YOU NOT!!! If she ever gets that up and running I WILL show you, for sure — LOL!!!
This is the inside right. The sticky notes are adhered to the top, but I am having technical difficulties there — LOL!!! They are too heavy. I’ll end up taking about 1/2 the pad off, I’m sure! Again, I stamped on the NOTES with Times New Roman Font. I love the little clips — they are pretty and functional, if needed!!!
Here’s a look at the left pocket. The monogram was done with the Damask Monogram Set (it’s on sale — see above) and I used a J from Trompe Script Font, which is a really pretty, more fancy, font that I love. The little book just has a simple J on it, front and back.
This is the right side pocket, no different. The top border is made with the retired SU Wrought Iron punch with the corner guard removed. The bottom border is made with the Martha Stewart Scallop punch and holes added with a Cropadile. I used my new Glue Glider from Joan’s Garden for this entire project and it sticks tight! It’s super easy to use and very light weight. I am one happy camper with my new Glue Glider glue gun!!!
And that wraps it up again today!!! Hope you are all enjoying your time of Christmas preparation, however much or little that may be. And I hope you are getting some ideas you can use from all of us here working on Stamp Simply Celebrates!!! We are mid-way now, 6 days down, 6 to go!!! Hope to see you soon!!! Thanks so much for stopping in!!!
The winner selected by randon.org is #6, for Blog Candy #6, who is Nina. Here’s what Nina had to say:

Your portfolio is fabulous!!!
This is sooooo special. I love ‘vintage’ and think you have done such a fab job with co-ordinating these items. How lucky are you girlies in the USA to have such scrummy yummy goodies available to buy and customize. Sadly France is way behind. I’m going to have to try to think of using something else to get to the same result. You are a very talanted lady Sharon to be able to come up with such delightful ideas. Thank you for sharing yet another lovely project with us.

Thanks for the opportunity to win some fantastic blog candy !!
Great project AND great candy!! I would llove to start my JustRite collection with this 🙂
I love this project. I have an idea for the sticky notes. Why not create a wrap for them? Take them off, cut a piece of coordinating cs to create a front, back and a flap. You can secure the flap with Velcro, magnets, ties or even those little circles of heavy cardstock that you secure in the center with brads or eyelets and wrap string in a figure 8 around one then the other. I hope you KWIM. They are often used on interoffice mailing envies that are not sealed shut with glue. I hope this helps solve the problem. Hey, you do read these comments don’t you…
If you have time, take a look at my blog. It’s new and I’d love any feedback you might have.
Love the folder!!!
Thank you for the chance to win such great blog candy, Sharon! Would love the chance to play with some JustRite toys! What a creative and beautiful project!
Sharon, You have the coolest ideas! Party Central is super fun, and you’ve got me hooked … I must have JustRite stampers for Christmas … please Santa (or Sharon :), I’ve been a good stamper this year!

What a beautiful project and useful too! It would make a wonderful gift, but I think I would have to keep it for myself. Your really inspire us! Thank you for the chance to win the Blog Candy. I just now ordered from Just Rite and can’t wait to start using the items.
the justrite stampers are so versatile. the project is great.
Great project – I think it could be used as a gift box for cards as well if the folder were cut down to fit. My boxes just aren’t working for me so I am looking for another alternative.

I am having so much fun seeing what everyone is doing each day. I just completed my first set of monogram notecards using mu brand new JustRite Monogram set and my new nestabilities using my new Cuttlebug. Sharon, I LOVE your two recent monogram card sets and used those as a sketch for mine too. I don’t think they are as beautiful as yours but I was/as still proud of how they turned out. Who knows, I might get brave enough to post them somewhere. LOL!!
Beyond beautiful, Sharon! Wow! Amazing!
Fantastic project; thanks! AND more blog candy! I’ve got my finger’s crossed!
This is a fabulous project!
The 11th is my birthday…I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I get picked. 🙂

Thanks to the Just Rite peeps!
This is such a beautiful project! I love the warm vintage look combined with the formality of the Justrite monograms. The spine adds just the perfect finish to this gorgeous book!
JR and your blog a great combination of tool and inspiration. Can’t wait to see if I win.
What a great project! I bet I could modify that for a great teacher gift for some of my co-workers. Thanks for the great project idea!

Love the rectangle stampers. I tried to order one but it was out of stock. Maybe it was a sign that I’m going to win a set?!?!?!?!
Incredible! Your creativity just amazes me. This is simply gorgeous. This is definitely on my “To do” list. I have most of the supplies (except the JustRite stamps). How exciting this is. Thank you so much for all this inspiration (and blog candy too).
Love your folder project and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the spine tabs that you made! Those look so elegant! What a lucky friend you have- she will love receiving this :). I really like what you did with the punched borders on the pockets too. Lol! I really like everything you did on this :D.

Your work ROCKS! Thanks for being such an inspiration and letting us RAK.
[…] to make. I did not use this set on my project today, but you can see it used on this project and this project for the monograms. Again, THANK YOU, […]
WOW!! You pocket folder project is outstanding. You are so clever and creative. I love the idea of making a spine and tabs. Gorgeous!
Love Love Love all the things that you are sharing during your celebration.
WOW! Great gift idea! Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent with us!
Great project and count me in for the possibility, however remote, to win fab JustRite stamps. Love the rectangular block and interchangeable letters/sizes. Wow! What a concept and for such a price. But free would be better! Love the story of your inventive friend. Everyone should know at least one person who can make something from nothing. Good on yah!
this is a great idea, and I love the idea for the spine. It gives room for the natural bulkiness of your accessories. Great showmanship! I’ll have to try this soon.
wow, what a fabulous project. I’ve seen a lot of these folders and absolutely love the way you’ve adapted them. what a wonderful gift this would make!
I love today’s project. You did an awesome job on it! Thanks for a chance to win the nice blog candy.
Really classy project!
This whole event has been realy inspiring to me. What a wide variety of great ideas. The possibility of “candy” just makes it better.
What an awesome project! I love your creativity!
I like what you did to the folder!
Beautiful project. I especially loved the stripped ribbon.
Great project.
Lovely project. You give me so many ideas for how to use my Just Rite Stampers, as well as other things I may have passed over as not usable. Great conversion of the folder, and I love the binding, too! Makes me want to get a Crop A Dile!
OMGosh, this planner is stunning! I love all your projects!!!
Your work is so awesome and I love your instructions that follow your projects. You are such a inspiration thanks for sharing.
You have such great projects! Thanks for the chance to win some great blog candy!
