This week on Wednesday, the Cardmaking with Fabric Club met in our upstairs room and we had a Christmas Party. We ate food and had a card/favor exchange.



In the end each lady ended up with these cards and favors. 

 Here is some new fabric we just got in. 
Ruth Davies made the cards below made with this fabric.


 The scalloped is from this Spellbinders Die A2 Polka Dots which coordinates with the new Card Creator dies.
