Cards

March is chockers full of our family and friends birthdays - six birthdays in the first eight days alone! Not to mention a few extra birthdays either side of that! So I got to work making some cards the other day. I suck at cards, but I think I've finally found a winning design. Do you see a pattern here?That's right - patterned paper background, journalling spot and monogram! Pure genious. It's a great way to use up scraps, put a dent in my eNORmous journalling spot collection and use up random leftover letters! I love to use up stuff. :)

I love your cards too! Any handmade card is just fabulous to receive and I loved opening mine :) (thanks again for the pressie). It's a great design and I have to admit that when I received *my* gorgeous card I thought i would scraplift your design to put a dent in my scrap box and my leftover chipboard letters too!

You've hit the jackpot here - what makes them very special is they have the person's initial. We found when doing craft at GFS, if the item incorporated the girl's initial or name they took much greater care - it is THEIR's - just for them. Well done, I suck at cards too so this will be a winner for me. Love you AJ
