So now on with the projects.  I'm sure Kelleigh was reading my mind when she designed this file.  I needed a 'little something' for my friends grandchildren, they are moving to a new house and will have a new garden.  So my 'little something' is this... Seed Packet Cards :)

Here is a look at the inside.

This file is super easy to put together.  The paper I used is 'Greenhouse' by Carolyn Gavin (K & Company),  the bird and butterfly are from Lettering Delight files (cut with my Cameo of course) - and just for fun I mounted them on Action Wobble Springs.  I used MTC software to spiral and print the sentiment "How does your garden grow?" (I only just learned how to do this this weekend - thank you Anita!)

I love the way these turned out, but got to thinking about other things that you could put in the pocket of this card - so much fun stuff, my head was spinning with ideas.  Here is what I did.

I thought that this would be a fun little gift to give to someone who needs to be pampered, inside is a small packet of homemade bath salts, (but it could just as easily hold a gift certificate for a mani/pedi.)

I also finished off the inside by making a closure (not sure exactly what this type is called) for the packet, and stamping a sentiment.

The paper I used for this card is 'Posh' (Teresa Collins), 'spa diva' stamp by Rubber Romance, sentiment stamp (Hampton Arts), a flower and 'bling' from my stash.

Thanks for checking out my projects today, I hope you will leave a comment and check out the other fun projects on the blogs listed above.
