Simple Hello

Love this card's simplicity, yet the buttons add charm. I can't believe I didn't use ribbon - I have a habit of adding ribbon to every creation.

Tea Purse

This is a little purse that holds tea bags perfectly. I got the idea from a lady's post (londonblue) and added to it as well as used designer paper.
