  105. Dear Lorelie--

    What a wonderful design you are sharing with us! Is that a normal size CB embossing folder? It looks fabulous! I don't know if that "bow" at the very top has a special name. I think it looks beautiful, especially with the red behind it. Details, details, and you put even more special details into this! It is incredible! Angie C. warned us. She said to put our "drool bibs" on!

    Traci S.
