Colleen, I agree, that card is gorgeous!!

Wow! It was hard getting the foil unwrapped again! Maybe I squished it too hard!

Good use of the foil! Cute pics!

Covering letters is a good idea! I like the way you used the vellum too.

That is so cool Jessica!! LOVE your layout and she is such a sweetie pie!!

Great job with the letters, Jessica (and I squished mine too much too....took me forever to get it open).

Jessica and Leslie great use of the foil.

Thank you ladies.
