A Card for My Missionary

Our son , John, is serving a mission for our church. He loves it!  And the people that he serves. WE send him letters and keep in touch via email.  Today I decided it was time to send him this special card I created with him in mind!  He is one amazing young man...and touches so many lives, for sure.  

Cheer Up!!

Here is a card I made using my favorite stamp set (at least for now!), "4 My Friend". The sentiment is "cheer up" and how could you not be happy with these colors from the "Stella" paper line!??

Supplies~

Roxie LO Inspired by CTMH How To Book, "Imagine"

Created this layout using our Roxie paper line and the Roxie MyStickease. The inspiration for layout pattern came from our "How To" book, "Imagine". One of my favorites as the left page formats an 8x10 photo and the right page tells the story with journaling and other related photos! Love our How-To-Books!

Haven't posted one of these fun, easy projects in awhile! This was created using the Lucky paper line! And our 4x6 flip flaps to protect the photos! Leave a comment if you have any questions at all!

Saying Thank You...

Saying thank you is a blessing to those we associate with. We all like to serve a friend or loved one or even a stranger in words and deeds. In the past few months, I have tried to do a better job of expressing gratitude for those I love. Saying thank you is really enough but sometimes we are also inspired to create our thank yous.

I found some old notebooks in my stash of writing materials and decided to create a special Thank You for a friend!
