I have created a card today, but what makes my card perfect for this hop is:
- It is my first Tri-Fold Shutter card. Yeah for trying a new fold! Although it looks complicated, it is super easy to cut the base. The most time consuming part was layering the papers and adhering.
- This card is for a teacher who has been transferred from 2nd grade. It will be her first year in 5th grade and at an intermediate level. I have been teaching 5th graders for 11 years, so I know she will love it!
- This was my first time using this paper stack ~ DCWV High School. I bought it on clearance for $1.99 and thought it would come in handle one day. I love the patterns and colors. Since my son is a Senior this year (for the first time), I will be using it even more!

Have you ever bought some crafting goodies and didn't realize you had one at home. Please remember to leave your e-mail and blog address (if you have one).
