This is to continue my tradition of creating Christmas cards for grandkids that are special in some way - this may be called a
double gatefold or maybe a
z-fold. .The original piece is 12x5.5; each side is folded, then folded back. The belly band and image hold it closed. I will add a name and greeting to the front, and the inside has a pocket. Another tradition is to give a donation in their honor - organizations like World Vision and Samaritan's Purse offer items such as $50 for school supplies in Africa or $50 for medical supplies in a third world country. We have the fun of "matching" interests, and providing an object lesson in giving. We include the donor card in the pocket.

What a sweet image! And it sounds like a fabulous fold. And I love hearing that you donate in your grandchildren's name. For Christmas I ask my family members to do the same for me. Specially love Samaritan's Purse, they are doing so many good works in so many different places. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
