Card File Box and Matching Cards

Welcome back everyone,
It is great weather here to enjoy making cards and following all paper pursuits we had such a hot summer you just did what you could hard to be creative.
The class for this week is a small File Box that holds six cards and envelopes a great size.
Make many and name them i.e. Christmas, Sympathy, Female Birthday, Male Birthday, Children, Baby, Thank You, Get Well the list just keeps going, they would look so pretty lined up with your cards in them all ready to go. Satisfying and organized wouldn't that be great different papers for each box so easy to find what you want quickly.
Classes as usual Thursday the 5th June morning and evening, just email me gaymere@bigpond for more information.
Till next time, enjoy and maybe leave a comment.
Cheers Gail.
