This month the "use your stash" bloghop will feature the "oldest paper" we have. And if you are coming from Rachel's Blog you are on the right track.


Now I have been with Close To My Heart almost 5 years and this some paper I first got in "bulk" when I first became a consultant. I have NO idea the name of it is but is is cute & I have used it several times. For this card I used only piece of paper from my pieces of "scrapes"



This is the easel card I made to send to a very sweet young lady from my church. "Bailey" has been lost for several weeks and thought it would be nice to give her a card to let her know that I hope Bailey returns home soon.

Now hop on over to Shirley's Blog to see what she has creative.
