Tips

• If you are not using the front of a greeting card, you can donate it to St. Jude Ranch for Children. They reuse them to make "new" greeting cards by pasting the front to a folded piece of card stock. Then they sell them as a fund-raiser for the kids. The cards are wonderful and they have information on the back about the cause. You can email St. Jude's at anv.net for more info.
