I'm a little behind on sharing our January Club projects. We had a little drama in the form of my daughter having appendicitis with some complications. But she is doing much better and she's home and that makes everything right in the world.
I couldn't miss sharing these cute projects. One of my club ladies asked to make pom poms, so that's what we did and added it to a box we made using the Gift Box Punch Board. I also saw THIS card and just had to try and make it. I love how it turned out and I thought the color combination, while unconventional, was so sweet!
