As long as we have memories, Yesterday remains.
As long as we have hope, Tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have love, Today is beautiful.

Welcome to Sharon's Blog

I was told that I needed to start "blogging". It's definitely new to me but hey, I'm game! I want this to be a place for me to keep in touch with my friends and share a little about what's going on with me and my family and share a little about my passion - scrapbooking. For those that I've met and have gotten to know from Treasured Memories & More, I hope that we can continue our friendship and love of scrapbooking. Keep in touch - ok?

Look What You Can Do With a Starbucks Sleeve

Do you have your Starbucks daily, weekly or as a special treat? Well here's a good way to recycle those sleeves. I taught a class at Treasured Memories & More at Christmas time using those pretty decorative sleeves they give out during that season. P.S. Tonna is teaching a different variation using the sleeves and it's cute. I might have to take that class just for the idea!

I used Daisy D's paper, EK Jolees, Diecuts with a View rubons and I think the brads too and used transparancies for a couple of the pages in between the cardstock pages.

I like to also make gift cards with the sleeves and birthday or all occasion cards with the many sleeves you can collect from them. Ask your friends for their throwaways or if you get to know your barista, they'll slip you a couple of extras.





Use a transparency to add elements that can be viewed through to the two pages






Staple the bottom of the sleeve before covering with paper. That way the gift card can slide in and stay in the sleeve like a pocket.
