Each month has an opening page featuring a general occasion card or season-appropriate holiday card prepared by Wendy Sue Anderson of Heber, Utah, a talented designer who is a perennial favorite in the paper crafting world. She also explains a tip, technique or favorite tool that was used to make the card....
