How To

DEMO  DAY

MAKE-IT-TAKE-IT

 

I thought I would share the Demo Day Make-it-Take-it for those of you who were unable to make it. As you can see, it was a pretty cool card for Halloween.  Change the greeting on the front and it could be a great howdy/birthday card for a gentleman friend, son or husband.
