Monday, Monday

Before I left the States I bought this Bill Nye The Science Guy paper making factory.  I always wanted to make my own paper and use it for cards.  Little did I know how hard it would be to make good USEABLE paper.  It's easy to make paper, just hard to make it good.  I finally got a sheet or two that I could use and made this card.  I'm pretty happy with it.
