Hello!


I recently made a pocket card, then after looking around I realized there was another type with a criss-cross opening.  I found a tutorial on YouTube!  So, I decided to try them as notecards for a friend.  I tried to make some about a week ago, and discovered that I needed to use two-sided paper to make it work.  So, I went to my local scrapbooking store, and found the cutest BoBunny paper.  Here is what I came up with, hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by:)
