Subject: Creative Quick Card Ideas from Jazz

Jazz was at it again (still?) with ideas using multiple punches & more. She sent me these pictures more than a week ago and I'm just getting them in Photobucket and posted. (Sorry, Bonnie!) The following are her notes and photos. I'm hoping I've gotten all the photos matched up correctly with her comments! Enjoy all this wonderful eye candy...

Footnote: Voy will not allow me to post my full message with all the pictures so I will try to split them up and add the rest in Replies.
***********************

Have been playing around with shapes, again. Thought I would share these with you. They are not necessarily new ideas, just similar ones all in one collection. These are circles, folded in half.

Thanks so much, CWB. I have been so sick, that this was the first time I have felt well enough to get on the puter. Since I sent Carolyn those pics, I came up with more - about 100 altogether.

Joann, thanks for your kind words, too. (((hugs)))
