Another try at the squash fold card brought to us today for the TLC! I thought that this little fold reminded me of a jacket, so I used my weave backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms, and tried to turn this into a little cardigan. The inside damask piece comes out, and says "Happy Retirement" at the bottom. My SISTER Kris retired on Christmas Eve...yes RETIRED! I can't believe I have a retired sister...she's going to be 62 in May, and I am 37!!! I think I will attach a gift card to the back of the paper that slips out for her fave local breakfast restaurant the Cozy Kitchen in Caledonia...shout out to Barb!! Now Kris and my brother-in-law Vic can go get early bird specials as a couple of almost senior citizens, hee! (PS...If I can brag, my sister looks great, and you would never know she is that old, snort!)
