Giving From the Heart

In the CEF of Smith County there are lots of people who volunteer their time and talent to make the local chapter a success.  To show my appreciation to these wonderful folks, I like to send them a homemade card.  I believe that when they receive something as thoughtful as a card that I have designed with them in mind, they understand how valued they are in my eyes. 
Here are a few of the cards that I will send to those who have helped this week. 



For each card, I used the same basic design.  This design came from MOJO Monday's Sketch 194.  I  added stitching, ric-rac and brads.  I am easily bored so on each of these examples  I changed the focal point a bit. Each one features a tea-bag fold done in a complimentary B&T paper. 




Someone recently asked for a tutorial on tea-bag folding.  Instead of trying to shoot pics (I have a really cheapo camera), and explain it, I thought I would link you to a few tutorials that I have used. 
Tea Bag Folding
Rosemarie's Tea Bag Folding Site
Paper Printables

These sights are great!  You can also search out more sights by using the keywords tea bag folding and/or kaleidoscope fold.  If you find something really great, I would love for you to share it with me.

Until then..Happy Scrappin,

Becca
