That is a great idea. I have to share it with my grands. They love to make their own cards. Thanks.
I have a question...wouldn't the seeds start to germinate if they are put into wet paper? It just got me thinking.
I would think so too Jade....hmmmm. Maybe it would'nt if you quick dried though. I would be alittle worried to let them set overnight in the wet paper.
