Joyful Nativity in Two Color Schemes
The original version of my card was made for this color challenge. I used “Joyful Nativity” and “Totally Trees” with a bit of designer paper from the Presents & Pinecones collection. For fun, I also made a Night of Navy version. I was pretty sure I would like the design … Continue reading
Designer Paper Note Card Folder
I have been making these note card folders all summer with various papers after I saw the idea on Rachel Tessman’s blog. We made this version in club last month. These little totes open to reveal a pocket for note cards and envelopes. We used papers from the Floral Boutique … Continue reading
