- squeal like a girl -
Graphic 45!!
We've paired May Arts Ribbons and Graphics 45 to bring you a week full of fun, giveaways and projects. We'll be posting our projects on our individual blogs so grab a cuppa something, a Christmas cookie and come along, 'cause you'll want to see it all.
Another good part is that you get a few bites a day so you won't have to spend hours hopping around - double coolness and more cookies. ;-)
Today is my day! Be sure to stay until the end of this post because I have links to more FABULOUS May Arts designers and awesome Graphic 45 designers. Here we go...
I'm determined to be more organized this year. (I think I say that every year.) So, I've created a Monthly Card Organizer. Each month has a calendar for noting special events and a pocket to insert the cards for that month. I kept the embellishments to a minimum because I want to be sure my cards will go in each pocket undamaged.
Remember, you can click on any photo to make it larger.
