Homemade Cards ~ Paper Crafting Thursday!

The winners of last week's paper crafting are Tami and Jules. Please email me your addresses and I'll get your prizes in the mail!

Card
Welcome to this week's card making project! Remember you can use any paper, stickers or stamps on your own card.

Card
Cover a 5 1/2" x 4" blank notecard with scrapbook paper.

Paper Craft Fun: Post any kind of paper craft (card, bookmark, tag, banner, journal, etc.) on your blog between now and next week and come sign Mr. Linky. Next Thursday, I will draw two of the names and the winners will receive supplies for a homemade card: blank notecard, envelope, and an assortment of scrapbook paper, stickers (or stamped images), and ribbon. Link back here in your post, so that others will know where to join in the fun, too!

I just finished making 'guy" cards for the March swap and will post about them later this week or next. If would be fun to have you visit me and you can look at past post with my Valentine cards that I made.
