I decided that since
summer is officially over and school has began once again, that I would share a
very cute pocket card I made. Pocket cards are a fun way to add a little zip to your cards. They are super easy
to create (just a little creative folding) and guaranteed to make not only the
teacher that you create it for smile, but also your little one. I hope you have
as much fun making it as I did.
Until next time…
