February 2012 Cards 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 5
This is the month that is made for cards. If you have any cards you would like to share please post them here. I will start.

I stayed up until midnight making these two cards for friends. (OK...so I didn't start until 10:30.) They are pretty simple but that is how I roll. lol. I had an urgency that I had to do it that night. I am glad I did.

The first one is for a woman who took the time to send my yearbook class a 1917 Sunnyside High School Mirror Yearbook. It is now the oldest yearbook we have for our school. We didn't even know the yearbook was produced during that year. It was so nice of her to send it.



The second card is one that I made for a friend that was dying. (My lines aren't the straightest but I was tired and it was midnight.) We were told he wouldn't live past the week. He was a great guy that did a lot behind the scenes with kids. I wanted the kids in my classes to send him a thank you for all he had done. After all, we don't work with kids because it pays well. I thought he would love to hear how the kids appreciated all his work. A co-worker delivered it for me that next afternoon and he died that night after he got the card. I don't know if he actually was able to read it but I know the family will appreciate it if he didn't.

Wow, Elizabeth, these are not only amazing cards but with amazing stories. I know they were appreciated. I know because I have received a handmade card from you and when you open the envelope you can feel the love that went into making it pour out. xoxo

Here's a card that I just made my grandpa for his birthday. I found this great Theresa Collins paper on clearance at CW! Love it!

Love the stars and the twine around the banner! Kraft paper cards are popular. Need to get me some.
