I hope this will come through since I am generally not successful at posting pictures. My sister, daughter and I made these to hold our Christmas Cards this year. I made this one to hold all the Boomer Cards I received.
If it does not post, perhaps you can click on the link and see it.

This picture has all the Boomer Cards on it.

Great idea. I have one sitting right here that I bought to put pictres on but haven't hung it yet. Not that I made it. I also bought one for my office that I display the grandkids pics on. When I get new pictures, it is easy to replace the older ones. Never thought of using one for cards.

Hey everyone, it's really easy to do the boards. We used foamcore boards from Joann's Crafts. Then covered them with batting, covered it with fabric, then hot glued the batting and fabric to the board. Then used decorative chair tacks for the positioning of the ribbon. Takes a bit of time but so very pretty.

I'll see if I can post a picture of my sisters and daughters for you. We really like them. I believe we made 4 of them for the holidays. Glad you liked them.

The cards were lovely on them - the best part of it all for me was all my boomer sister cards decorating it.

The first picture is of my daughters board. The fabric is kind of like a 50's pattern of snow and such. Very pretty.

This picture is my sisters and it's got a black background. Really nice.

The last one is for my foyer where all the family christmas cards were put. It worked quite well there.

I hope you like them.

I could just live the rest of my life around artsy/craftsy people like yourself...Chatty, Renee, The Divine Ms M and let Cookie cook for me...I know I'm leaving someone out, forgive me. But when I see a new project like this I get excited! Now can you buy all of the supplies at the craft stores?

By the way, these are beautiful!

You can buy all the supplies at any craft store. I got mine at Joann's Crafts. Thanks for the kind words. Actually I fell in love with them and was very pleased with the outcome.
