Loralie Cards

 Hello!

Hopefully you all had a wonderful Christmas! 

Here are a few cards made with the Loralie fabric that Rachel designed and made.



 She also decorated this gift bag.

 She used this sheet of paper from "My Mind's Eye" for some of the embellishments on the cards and the gift bag. 

Here are the two different fabrics that she used. 


Have a happy new year!
