  This is a Thank You for a lovely old couple who put up nine of our family members in their five bedroom rental house in northern New Hampshire at no charge! Their grandson is good friends with our youngest, so they wouldn't take any money. We left them something anyway, of course!

************************************

I finally got around to finishing  a Trudy card. I had her colored and the dresses made, but I had just put them aside in an envelope. I winged it while putting it together, so things didn't work out exactly as I'd intended. I'll do it a bit differently next time.

  This is how it looks when closed.

Here it is opened.

Here she is with her dresses.

She can stand on her own. You can see the slits in the card which keep her in place. 

This is actually mounted on a slightly larger card so that I can insert a printed greeting.
