I needed to make some quick thank you cards that doubled as small gifts and Christmas cards all in one, so I decided on my daughter’s favorite colors (red and blue) and purchased some blingy Christmas initial ornaments and hung them on some cards…viola, a gift, a thank you card and very different Christmas card. LOL
I had to use the paper I had in stock as I have made myself a ‘promise’ not to buy any more paper or decorations until I use up what I have or give it away. Now I know all of you realize that this is more of a good intention than a complete law, but I will do my best to use my stash first…the main trouble is that this means I can’t hoard the paper and then what I do??? LOL Pretty paper is one of my guilty pleasures…I don’t buy a lot of tools and gadgets, but I do looooove paper. I think a few of you out there will be able to relate. 🙂 May Santa bring us lots of paper….:)
Good Morning sweet lady!!! Yes, I do check in on you sometimes, hope all is well.
I just wanted to share what I helped a friends daughter make for all her teachers…and family! She is 8 years old and has never used a sewing machine, but she was able to make NINE tissue covers in no time! And it is SUPER CHEAP! (probably between $.50 and $.75 each) I even have a (pitiful) "how to" video

Red and blue, what a wonderful combination to use for this beautiful card. I hope I can make such photo wedding thank you cards.
