Just a few minutes tonight to post - gotta get a card made for tomorrow. No, I haven't lost my habit of procrastinating. Plus, it was actually gonna be 2 cards that I needed to do, but Jo won't be back to the office until next week so I can put that one off even longer! LOL! Yep, I'm a sicko! :)
Anywhooo... my mom is my best customer when it comes to the cards I sell (and she's my best sales rep as she shows them to her hairdresser and bridge ladies and sells even more!). One of the things she had mentioned wanting for Christmas was cards, so my sister and I made her this card tin and filled it with cards (10 of them). This was the first one of these I'd ever done although I had gotten these tins waaaayyy back when! There is a bit of a learning curve with them, but this one turned out pretty well (and no blood was shed by either my sister or me!!) and we were happy with it. I think Mom was, too. :)

Hey I'm old enough to be your mom why didn't I get one of these wonderful card boxes?( BOO HOO)
Great job girls
I love your tin! I think it turned out gorgeous and looks like you've done them a dozen times. Love how you angled the ribbon on the lid. Love these papers, too. I have them and have only used them once. I need to address that situation.
This is gorgeous!! I cracked under Kraftin' Kimmies pressure and bought one.....now I HAVE to do something with it!! INSPIRED BY YOU!!!
