STV - Anything But a Card

Another week that Karen has come up with a fabulous, useful project that I just love~  A recycled napkin holder, decorated, and filled with (in my case) outgoing snail mail!  I am always so busy MAKING cards, I forget to SEND the cards.  As a  few of you can relate to since I MISSED your birthdays - LOL (my bad) -  I am thrilled to say, I HAVE NO EXCUSE now.  Great project Karen - I am seriously going to miss this challenge when your rein is through~~ but, you can say you went out with a bang because all your projects ROCKED IT OUT!!  I used the newly released GKD stamp set "Gifts from the Sea" illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger, along with a "zindorf" lesson. (I go to her gallery over at SCS - look at her gorgeous art work - and than go to her blog for tutorials on how-to-do - just like Theresa Momber does- fabulous work ladies!!)  Thanks for stopping by~~

Vicki, this is wonderful
1 Love the airbrushed background and design! Yeah, I have so many cards I need to mail! I was having glue issues...cards weigh so much no glue was holding the stuff put! Of course, I totally suck at mailing stuff, too! Working on that one, myself!

Great card!

Love the blues and browns! I keep meaning to try the Zindorf method. If only she came a little closer with one of her classes! Of course I am a "beachy" kind of gal so this napkin holder is right up my alley! Gorgeous project!
