Hello and happy Monday to you!  How was your weekend?  As for me, I had a fabulous one, I spent Saturday with my family and Sunday with my two friends (yes, we are missing our 3rd lady, but she had a date with her hubby).     

I have a super fun card for you today.  I just love these four ladies from the 2012 Girlfriends Picture Perfect, are they just too cute?  And they totally reminds me of my crafty friends and I.   The four of us craft, shop, and laugh so much every time we get together.  I even matched the ladies' hair with ours too and some of our favorite colors, hehe!   And of course, we need a sentiment, right?   The All Together sentiment is too cool!   I hope you like it.

I cut the paper to 12" x 8.5".  On the 12" side, score at 3.5", 5.5", 9", and 11".  Then I turned the cardstock 90 degrees.  I scored again at 2", and 6.5".  Cut the top and bottom flaps (to create a box)

For the top, I created an opening slot using a punch (for the money).  And I cut the pattern paper, the dimensions are 4.25" x 3.25" and 4.25" x 1.75".
