You don't just create a simple item, they are gorgeous pieces from your hands and hearts. I love the gifts, both are divine! I wish I could create like you do as the end result is so gorgeous, a treasure. I look at the steps and you plainly state what to do, I will keep this post handy and give it a try.

The card & mini album that Astrid created for you are stunning :) Did your face hurt from smiling so much? :) :) How lovely and what a fun gift exchange between you all :) <br />Your portfolio and tag set you created for Julia is sooo beautiful!! Love all of the wonderful layers of texture and fabric and rusty bits & pieces on the outside of the folder :) And then you create a gorgeous ghostly tree line background for the inside!! The background frames the tags wonderfully--you put the deers on the tags right into their own environment :) Simply love the two tags--both the front & backsides :) All of the stenciling and stamping is wonderful and I just love those die cut deers cut out of the decorative stock--so elegant :) <br />Thank you so much for sharing all of your techniques, Alison :) Merry Christmas!!
