Thank You Cards and Box - Oval All

Our friends Steve and Brook are having their second son in 3 weeks. We went to a BBQ tonight to celebrate. Although they didn't want anyone bringing gifts, I can't show up anyplace empty handed! I figured this was the perfect time to try out some ideas I have for my upcoming class. I will be using different papers for the class, because I want to use the papers from the Occasions Mini Catalog. James was a sport and helped me with assembling the pieces together on the cards. He did a few of the punches, too. I think he enjoys it more than he lets on... he certainly never complains when I ask him for help, and now he has started to offer help. He may not like me sharing that info, so let's keep it a secret!

The cards and envelopes in the box.

I included 6 cards. All the cards used the same paper, but each card was a little different.

I forgot to take pictures before we left, so I took them on my Blackberry - please forgive the photos!
