If nothing else, Southern Living is loaded with advertising. I quit subscribing for that reason. I felt inundated with advertising, and BH&G is the same way. I am sure all the magazines are on shaky ground. With the Internet, newspapers and magazines have become relics of a sort. It's like taking the milk without buying the cow if you can find it on line. Perhaps the publishers should all start a "paperless" magazine on line that would do what they have advocated for years, "save the planet" by eliminating the need to cut trees and use gasoline, vehicle mileage to send their publications to your door or store. There could be an annual subscription fee for the majors and we could just endure popups from the minors. Before ivillage, many of us paid fees here at GW for membership and the lovely T-shirt.

that is cute. I think we did one in class years ago. I have a card around somewhere I made for Father's day. a lot less complicated (size wise) I'll have to see if I can dig it up. I'm trying to scan all cards I find or that my kids have saved for me. I haven't found that exploding one yet but I will!!

How sweet!! Thanks for sharing

The napkin had two layers... the printed color layer, kinda bonded to a plain white layer so it had more substance than some paper napkins. I left the layers together. The glue I used was Elmer's Washable School Glue 'No Run Gel' - the light blue stuff. I ran a thin bead all around the edges of the backside of the picture, and made a few squiggles in the center area, then used a soft flat paintbrush to smear/paint the glue to the edges and moosh it around in the middle. The glue did NOT grab immediately, giving me some leeway in ooching the design into place. I had thought of using spray-on adhesive, but with that type of glue, once you drop the picture in place, that is where it STAYS! No room for error with most of it. Glad you liked the card. I hope it inspires you to look at your stash of pretty napkins and make a card, too!
