Thank You Card

 Good Morning!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the voting from our Christmas Card Swap. We will announce the winner of that at a later time. 

Here is a "Thank You" window fabric card designed and made by Rachel.
The card opens up like this to reveal the "Thank You" fabric. 
And then opens like this where you can write your message. 
(notice the rectangular window on the left flap)
 The "Thank You" words came from this fabric.
 And the butterfly came from this fabric which came in recently.


Our fall class schedule will be sent out this week so watch your inbox or check back here on the blog. 
Have a great week.
