MDS Thank You Card

I wanted to make a cute card to mail to my students thanking them for their generous Christmas gifts.  Since I needed to make 18 cards, I decided to use Freshly Made Sketches #117 and my Stampin Up MDS software to create a digitally made postcard.  I then uploaded the front and back to Staples.com as a postcard and picked my order up the next day.  They turned out to be super cute!!!
