Suzy, some people use a sturdy cardstock for the back and some people use muslin. It's really up to you. There is no right or wrong way. There are lots of tutorials on Pinterest and Google if your interested in a bit more info.

I have had so much fun working on my postcard today. I need to run out tomorrow for posterboard before I can finish. I'm working on a new design. But, It is almost ready to go out. I hope whoever I get doesn't mind it being slightly bigger then 4 x 6. It's just a bit. I had a little glitch getting it to come out to the perfect size. I am pleased with it though. It's exactly as I designed it. I just love it when I can get my ideas to come to completion.
I can't wait to see what you ladies come up with for The Good Ol' Summertime. Will it be a trip to the beach or a hike in the mountains, playing with bubbles with the grands, or flying a kite, or, maybe a picnic or BBQ. Or growing flowers and veggies in the garden. There are just so many summery ideas. I look forward to a peak into your summer "trip".
Just a head's up, next month's theme is Fourth of July or Red*White*Blue. At the moment, we don't have any International players. But, if we did, share your July traditions with us. "Treat" us to a look at your country.

Okay Ladies, I know some of you would like to know the themes ahead of time. So, here are the themes for the rest of the year. I hope you'll keep coming back and playing with us.
July, 4th of July, Independence Day, Red*White*Blue
August, Our Feathered Friends, Anything to do with Birds. Any kind of bird. If it has feathers, it fits the bill of birds.
September, (Sept. 10) Sewing Machine Day, So, In the Sewing Room is the theme. However you want to interpret it. (Piecing, Applique, Fabric etc.)
October, Halloween or Fall, PLEASE DEFER TO YOUR PARTNER. Where I adore Halloween, my partner may not. I will defer to HER wish. I also will not make her make me Halloween if she is against the Holiday. I will try to match up appropriately as well.
November, Sweet Treats, (cakes, cookies, pies, donuts, jelly rolls, ect.) What would you love to end your Thanksgiving meal with? Do you love a sweet treat with your Coffee or Tea or Cider?
December, Winter NOT Christmas unless your partner wishes to have Christmas. We all celebrate differently. We ALL place a different emphasis on the holiday. Winter to me would be forest trees, animals, snow, snowman, snowflakes, sledding etc. Feel free to expand on my suggestions. I would love to hear your take of what winter is.
