My daughter recently turned 13, and I made her an extra special birthday card using a piece of my beloved Webster's Pages paper. I refused to cut even 1/8" off of it, so this became a 6 3/4" square card! I didn't even have an envelope for it.

Wow Colleen, what a SPECTACULAR array of images, text and colors. LOVE the framing of the card and, yes, good luck finding an envelope to fit this. The larger ones are nice b/c you can fit so much more on them. Your daughter will fall in LOVE with this!

Wonderful card - I totally see why you didn't want to cut any of that paper (aren't Webster's Pages the best?). Cool border and love the butterflies - very appropriate for your sweet daughter's birthday card. TFS and give her a hug from me!

This is so pretty Colleen. It has a soft vintage edge to it. I bet your daughter loved it! The butterflies and punched borders are just awesome. I want some of this paper!!!

Colleen, I had to go to your blog to get all the details on this AMAZING creation. It turns out that your DD & I have much in common. Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie of all time and Lily of the Valley is my favorite flower. A belated Happy BD to her. This card is just beautiful and I hope she felt all the love that went into it for her. I will try to check back to get the link to the Philadelphia broadcast. How exciting for you to be interviewed. I hope they do a great job in editing so you look good making your cards.
