Thank You Card

So what’s better than lots of paper? Lots of FREE paper! And your local stores give away this paper – you just have to know what department to look in. You wont find it in the scrapbooking section, or even in school supplies – you will however find this free paper in the hardware section! Look no further that you paint department – those neatly displayed color swatches are great for card making – and they’re free!!  

Here is an example of a card I made using Paint samples
