This is the last and one of my favorite cards from the simple and elegant card box. I like how this card turned out and I think I will be making some of these for myself.

She has hit some really good sales (how about silk fabric for curtains that was originally $50 a yard on sale for $6 or a $70 mirror on sale for $17).
