Well, Ginny doesn't have her own design team - but I did makes this from one of her files I purchased during ther crazy birthday sale. I plan to give these as gifts to my mother and mother in law, but I like one of them so much, I might have to keep it for myself.

The Card File on the left is made with Cosmo Cricket's Love Notes Collections Paper and the one of the right is made from a solid blue cardstock and Daisy D's Modern Romance Collection. I love that paper, but it is hard to use in an album because it is so feminine, but I love it for this. I cut the pieces to thes late last ngiht and put them together after a trip to Joann's this morning to get modge podge. I had never used it before, but I used a brush like Ginny does and it was easy as can be! I plan to fill each of these with cards and send them off.

I love these - sure wish it had been posted yesterday while the sale was happening. I got several files but overlooked this one. How many sheets of paper are used? It would be a great gift idea to use up some of my paper that I just enjoy looking at...

It uses 4 sheets of double sided cardstock. I love some of my pretty papers and now that you said that, I don't feel so guilty!

I think these turned out beautifully!
I may have to use these for some friends of mine. I have a few that buy cards from me pretty frequently, and this might make a good thank you gift for them.

I would love it if the lady I buy cards from made me one of these. I'm playing with the file to make it for smaller cards, and will test cut it tomorrow. I'm too tired tonight. Glad you all like this!

What size cards is it made for?
Good luck with the test cuts tomorrow!

This file is made to hold up to 5 x 7 cards. I wanted to make one that holds 4.25 x 5.5 cards which is what all of my premade cards are! So far, so good! I will adjust this one as necessary, but I think I've got it.
