Handmade Note Cards

I’m going to an event on Tuesday where I have to take a small gift of something that encourages me. Well, as you might imagine, that’s a no-brainer for me! Handmade note cards encourage me! I’m hoping they also encourage the recipient (of course they will, right?) The theme of the event, besides encouragement, is apples. So I dug out all the apple products I could find, new and old, Stampin’ Up! and otherwise, and I made a cute set of three apple cards. I thought I’d share them with you.

Card #1:
