Here is a card I made with my new PERFECT PAGES pack - LOVE! Yes, I did use some of my scraps too, so that is always a good thing. The motivation for this card came from Operation Write Home's current card needs. One of the shippers (Kris) is in need of cards with a theme Love, Miss You, Birthday, and Thank You, so I chose to work on a LOVE card first. Also, just saw this on Facebook NewsFeed for Operation Write Home: "Hello, if we may request, we need thank you cards, thinking of you, miss you, hello, and happy birthday cards. I picked up a card at a dental clinic and they are gorgeous. We will be here until Feb 11, so we can use them all!" -CPT S.R., Iraq, requesting cards.
I also wanted to make a 3D project for the current challenge over at Just Us Girls Challenge #34. So this is also my submission for that challenge. Come play along with Just Us Girls! It's FUN!!
Here is what the Perfect Pages - LOVE kit looks like:
I used a sentiment I found in my new book, THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE PERFECT WORD.
The sentiment on this card says,
"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."
Isn't that awesome?! I love it! There are so many great sentiments in this book!
I have a link above for the book at Amazon, but I got mine at Joann's with a coupon.
