I have mentioned these in at least one other post during this monthly blog hop, but Rolos deserve a full post all to themselves. Rolos are Altered Rolodex Cards and are one of my favorite little art venues because they are easy to make and can be displayed on a Rolodex spinner on my table. I have only been making them for a few months, but I already have a nice collection.
These are standard 2-1/4" x 4" size, but there are other sizes as well. Here are a few favorites from the ones I have made.
The back side is usually also lightly decorated, and I prefer to have the holes in the bottom on the front and the design so the holes are at the top on the back so when I flip through I don't have to turn the Rolodex around to read the back. They are pretty cute little bits of art, and I have enjoyed swapping them!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have been inspired or learned something new.

That is actually sweet. I never would have thought to decorate that
What a brilliant idea, and how very lovely the result is. It must be so pleasing to flip through the Rolodex and see all those pretty pieces flashing by. Love this!
Absolutely gorgeous and you can change things up whenever the mood strikes. So clever.

Thank you all so much for your comments. I have been AWOL from the blog all week, and probably will be for another few days. :(
Those are completely adorable! What a great idea to use as a diary - create one for every exciting (or not so exciting - think dentist appointment) that happens to you in a year. Put the date on somewhere and you've got a scrap-rolo, memory-dex, call it what you will. Spin through it years later and remember not only doing the thing, but also making the card for it!
