I’m in love with the simplicity of my Recipe for a Happy Life card. It really is so simple in design but really “pops” with the strips of paper I used.

They are actually called Zip Strips. Every sheet of Close To My Heart’s patterned paper has one. Instead of being a 12″ x 12″ sheet of paper, it’s actually 12″ x 12-1/2″. That extra strip has a lovely pattern on one side and on the other it tells the paper collection name as well as the colors used in the collection. It’s quite the useful tool!
