Sorry I did not post yesterday but I was so busy. I have contemplated making some cards in a box to sell at the base craft show. I also needed some of these for Christmas gifts for a few people. I spent the morning looking for dimensions/patterns for the boxes and found a couple 3 x 3 boxes. I never did find one for the invitation size cards so I ended up making my own. This took quite…

My friend Sandy (Hi Sandy!) is skeptical that anyone can create a card in short amount of time. Today’s card took me all of 30 minutes. It was a quick card to make and the layout is a great one from Natasha. Her site is a good one for quick simple cards. I like the simplicity of this card.
