Patriotic Cards

I am making some cards for Operation Write Home.  They provide blank cards to servicemembers that are in Iraq and Afghanistan so they can write home.  I started a few today and plan on making a lot more.

I am leaving sentiments and greetings off of these.  I figure they can be used for a holiday like the 4th of July or just for general use. 

Picture Frame

I had this plain white craft-it-yourself photo frame sitting on my shelf for the longest time and last night I finally got sick of looking at it.  So I found this gorgeous paper with velvety flocked flowers and vines on it and though that it would be great to cover it with.  I added a simple black ribbon with a little bow on the bottom to finish it.  I think it turned out elegant, yet simple. 

I just keep wanting to make cards!

Another batch of cards I made for the stash.  I need to get a box for these so I can store them until I need them!

A Couple of cards

With Mother's Day just around the corner I thought it would be a good idea to make a card for my mom and for my mother-in-law.  I made them almost identical so I will just post one.  I kept it very simple.  I used the Gypsy font for the "mom" , plantin schoolbook for the leaves and  home accents for the swirly things.  :)

The next one is an anniversary card for my grandfather and his wife.   I used Calligraphy Collection for the greeting and home accents again for the flourishes.
