March 2012 Card night!

We had a fabulous card club tonight!  Everyone: Maurine, Lindsay, Megan, Barbara, La Donna, and Star did a great job making their cards.  I had fun listening to everyone chat and share.  It is so great how the Stampin' Sisters are stepping up their creativity and coming prepared with their card kits.  Sooooo, with that said, I will have another drawing in April for all who have at least 5 items in their card kit.  Card kits must include at least 5 things including: tape runner, glue dots, and bone folder.

Our next Card Club will be: Wednesday, April 18, 2012.
