This was one of the M&T's at my Hostess Club tonight and is my own design. The ladies loved this, but said they would probably never make another as it was labor intensive. Because it was labor intensive, we did only one other M&T, the little pink & white love notes card I posted a day or so ago. I used a heart button on this one but the ones we made tonight used the large heart eyelets from the Winter Mini instead.
Before our meeting and without their knowing why, I had the gals bring by a photo that I scanned, resized and converted to B&W. This photo is one of my DS and her fiance. This will be their valentine from me. I'll be making several more for other members of my family.
Much credit goes to all you who have shared your neat accordion tag cards here on SCS. Thanks!!!
