Today is the day that we celebrate cards!
Making cards can be so rewarding. It not only fulfills a creative void, but also puts smiles on the faces of those who receive such beautiful pieces of creativeness.
Cards do not have to be a work of art, but rather a work of heart.
We would love to help with your card-making. A simple sketch is sometimes all one needs to get the creative juices flowing.
Here is the go-to sketch that I ALWAYS use! Any collection of scrapbooking goodness will work with this sketch. Four simple strips of paper and a few embellishments, and WAAAA-LAAAA!

Can we get the paper you used for the Christmas card kit? You gave us 20 extra bonus pieces & I’d love to make more cards using this idea but we don’t have any traditional Christmas papers yet.
LOVE this idea! Great way to also use up the paper ribbons and leftover stickers/embellishments! Melissa- I LOVE your ideas- keep them coming!!!
