Great Grads Money Holder
Posted: Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | Comments
If you still a graduation this weekend, here is an easy money holder was made with the retiring ‘Great Grads’ set. Yes, my loyal readers will know that I recycled this idea from last year!
<— I have included the directions sheet for creating this ‘money holder’… just click on the thumbnail.
This is a totally simple card that holds shut with just the slit punch. There is nothing fancy inside (no pocket or anything) because, face it–they are just going to shake the money out and probably not even read your note!
Crazy for Cupcakes Birthday Card
Posted: Friday, May 15th, 2009 | Comments
This is a money/gift card holder that I’ve done in the past but with an adorable ‘old fashioned soda shoppe’ type exterior!
I have seen the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper (#113980, $9.95) used as a window overhang like this and decided that it would be the perfect cover for a birthday money gift.
I had a lot of feedback about my post the other day (See: Rose Accordion Bookmark Card) and the dimensions for it. I have updated that post to include more details, click here to view it again.
Chocolate–My other obsession…

Where have I been? Well, up to my elbows in chocolate… which is a family tradition for the Celona family.
For about 20 years now, I have made candy as gifts to friends and neighbors (that live near enough to deliver by hand). I have included not only the photo, but an ‘extreme’ closeup (when you click on it).
I say that I make it, but it is truly a family affair and there are no shortage of teenage girls these days to help with chocolates to be made.
My daughter Katherine who was ’tiling’ the roof with non-pareils, the walls were molded by my daughter Sarah & her friend Brittany. And you can see below also the ‘before & after’ shots of the houses in construction. Read More→
