I love to create cards with G45...and these French Country cards are amazing. I really like the way Denise uses an extra score line in her cards, too. Beautiful. Kristin's card is so fun with the hinges and the drawer pull. Adds so much wonderful dimension to an already fabulous card. Thanks, Ladies!
