Hi Everyone,
I hope all of you had a blessed Thanksgiving.
I had a relaxing holiday and had time to take a nap and to papercraft. Today I created my first tutorial for my CTMH Club ladies. We created a three-layered card and I wanted them to have written directions on how to make it. I applaud all the people who create tutorials---it is a lot of work and time. I must give credit to a wonderful youtube video put out by stampcamp.com that taught me how to make this card. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=axgjPFvgGmo
Here are a few pics of my card.
