Here is what I created...

If you go back to my blog on May 14th...I selected a variety of papers, stamps, colors and embellishments to create three thank you cards. Here is what I created:

All are layouts from the Original Card Book...

I had a lot of fun designing these cards and they were a lot of fun to make.
