It's Freebie Time

Hello everyone!  I'm always trying to think of new and interesting things to share with you all.  Did you know that?  Actually I spend a huge amount of my daily existence thinking about you and musing upon how lucky I am to have each one of you as readers.  The support and inspiration you give me every day truly touches my heart... it really does!  So thank you.

Anyhowwwww... I thought it was about time for a new freebie, so I've created these fun printables for you all to enjoy.  I love vintage books, library cards, card catalog files (oh what I wouldn't give for one of those babies), so here you have: 

• Library Card Pocket Template
• Printable Standard Library Cards
• Printable Mini Note Cards (they fit inside the library card pockets) and are perfect for stashing in lunch boxes or using to top a gift)

I especially love the idea of using these as seating cards at a wedding or event.  Stamping each of the library card pockets with a number (or the guest's name) and then tucking a mini menu or program inside!  Perfect!

To read directions for use and to download...

{DIRECTIONS FOR USE} - Library Card Pocket

1. Print template at 100% onto cardstock
2. Cut out template along the outer lines
3. Place template on top of a plain or patterned sheet of paper (heavyweight paper works best, but you can use other paper as well).  If your paper has a pattern be sure to place it pattern side down.
4. Trace template onto your paper using faint lines with a pencil and cut out
5. Fold paper where shown on the template (along the dotted lines) starting with number 1 and finishing with number 3.
6. Glue the flaps (labeled on the template as number 3) using a glue stick.
7. Taa-daa

oh this is FAB!

when I was in junior high I had a lot of books and I tried to make my own personal library in my bedroom. I snipped lined 3" x 5" cards and wrote peoples names on and such. It was a lot of fun!

Ah memories...

Hey! You are AMAZING!

I am hosting a Book Exchange at my house and I've been scouring the internet looking for ideas for invites but to no avail. Then, a lightbulb went off about using library cards inside their pockets but since the party is in just two weeks, no time to order any.

And then-I found YOU

(enter angelic song)

Here is my question since I am a computer dork.

I downloaded these amazingly wonderful and PERFECT library card pocket template and cards but what I would REALLY like to do is type the invite out on them BEFORE printing rather than writing them all out by hand.

Is that possible? I have no idea how, if it is...I've been toying with it for almost an hour. (told you I was a dork.)

If you have a moment, would you let me know if this is possible?

Thanks so much!

I used your library card & pocket template in a scrapbook for my new nephew...noted God as the AUTHOR, his name as the TITLE, his arrival as the DUE DATE and the parent's names under ISSUED TO. I think my sister will love it!Thank you so much for posting the freebies!!
