Are you ready for SSC121?

On a personal note ~ this week's operator examples are my favorite to date! I'm always amazed at the talent of not the operators, but all that play along and I'm so happy to see all the beautiful work. Thanks to all that play along and to the operators who ~ week after week ~ share their talents with the rest of us!

Now let's get down to measurements!

Layer 1: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored in half to form the base of your card
Layer 2: 4 1/4" x 1" *Note ~ you can consider using a piece of ribbon for this layer.
Layer 3: 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" (if you cut a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" in half at 4 1/4", then you can get 6 pieces out of one piece of paper.
Layer 4: 4x3" (consider using 12 x 12 or Designer Series paper for this layer ~ you will yeild 9 pieces with no waste!)
Layer 5 & 6: Measure your block of wood for layer 6, then matte that layer with a piece of cardstock that is 1/4" larger on two sides. (or you may eliminate this layer all together and cut out your focal point and place it in the same spot.

Above all, create! Use the sketch as a jumping off point and make something beautiful! Now prepare to be amazed at what your operators have to offer today!
