The monogram thing sounds super cute and super fun to make...I cannot wait!

okay, what size do you guys do? I do the quarter fold size (4.25x5.5) on all of mine. Were they supposed to be bigger? I like this size. My swap #12 and #13 are this size. I can make them bigger but these work for me. Is it okay?

Me, too....cute cardstock is easy to find where you just cut it in half and have 2 from one sheet that way.

Whew! I was worried that I couldn't do them that way... Thanks, Jennifer!

Y'all are talking about just cutting the 81/2 x 11 paper into equal halves right??? I too was thinking I had made a booboo.

I agree that size is easier to do and not a lot of measuring and cutting to get it just so.

How about challenges when we don't have a holiday to make cards for? Like on the splitcoaststampers site where they can only use a certain color or type of card? Also, have you done plain notecards? thinking of you cards? Anniversary cards? Birthday cards? Love cards? How about certain themes like pets? flowers? all the topics from the site. I want some stamps now that I've looked at the site! LOL.

I saw this and just HAD to respond! I love this idea! I learned how to make a little post it note holder this weekend. It is soooo easy! I would love to do that, and I have so many packages of post it notes it's not funny (my mother puts them in my stocking every Christmas!).

Also, I LOVE the idea of a monogram card for each person. I think that is fantastic! Count me in!!!
