Small all occasion cards featuring tiny photos on embossed layers with lengths of fiber tied below

I have made these all occasion cards using little photos trimmed out of the indexes which come with the photo calendars I get from my sister every year for Christmas!!  She prints all twelve of the photos along with her information on a 4" x 6" photo and includes it in the calendar packages she gives me.  I have been saving them in hopes of find a good way to use them.  They trimmed out at 1.25" square so I decided to make some small cards with them.  In order to stream line the creative process I decided to use the same sketch for all of them.  I started with a small white card for all of them which fit nicely in envelopes from my stash.  Next, I trimmed some of the same cardstock into 1.75" strips and tore them apart at about 2.5".  I embossed them all with the Scripty 3D embossing folder (SU).  I glued a little photo to the top of the strip and then tied a coordinating piece of fiber below it.  Then I dug through my scraps of decorative paper to find backgrounds for my cards.  Once I had them matched up I glued the backgrounds to my card fronts and then added the little focal elements with 3D foam tape.  These ones all have floral elements in a variety of colours.  I have a little stash of these little photos on my desk so there will be a few more show up in the next while.  Therese
