Learn & Grow Pocket School Picture Card


 I saw a pocket card that Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Kristina Baldwin made and was very intrigued!! It is a card and a keepsake. The tag that goes in the pocket is the keepsake part. You put your child's school picture on it. This is great for Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, or Friends. This also could be used as a gift card holder.
