Graphic 45 Puzzle Pieces

An example of one more political nurse in this country. I found the gift that I received to be rude but of no surprise to me. Supposedly the items she is selling in her "shop" is purchased off of her government paycheck and she wants to be reimbursed with your money by at least 2/3 more.

I purchased my first Graphic 45 chipboard piece from her. I paid at least double what a former ebay seller was selling it for. Meaning I could of had two for the price of one. Lastly the paper used for the chipboard smells and looks exactly like the way puzzles are made. Puzzles where and as far as I know still not archival. Should I be shocked that another "cherry" scrapbooking company is ripping off their customers by selling them non-archival products. When I asked a previous question of G$%.......... I received no answer!

If you are doing this then it should be only for the shear enjoyment and do not expect your next generations to enjoy what you made them...

Please stop supporting garbage companies in the name of ART. PLEASE....Stop blaming all legitimate art for trash art.

Star Booklet

It seems as though there are many versions of these little star books as well as many versions on how to teach these star books. I was not fond of any of the tutorials I came across but it was Kristins Racky Road Junk and Stuff that inspired me the most in at least the attempt. I do not recall ever making one of these little star books but seems to be at a level under pre-school or at least it should be made at an under pre-school level.

I would also suggest if that you do not want white pockets, or any white backing to show that you use either color cardstock or a double sided printed cardstock.

Additionally the measurements can be adjusted to make various sized stars and in this instance I changed the sewing to the gluing method.
