-5 1/2" x 4" blank notecard
-4" x 3 3/4" piece of scrapbook paper
-3 3/4" x 2" piece of scrapbook paper
-Small tag with stamp or sticker

Glue the larger piece of scrapbook paper to right side of card, and the then smaller piece on the left.

Kelli,
How do you keep things like your little roses from being squished in the mail?
Or are the cards only for handing out?
I love the idea that you do the drawing once a week. Thank you.
Could i do something like that on my blog??
