Card Making Makes Great Gift

It's been awhile once again since I've been on my blog...Sorry...been working on my new quilt too many hours.. But here's a project I just finished for a friend of mine....Her birthday was the 8th of February and she turned 87 years old...Now my thought was what can you get someone that pretty much has everything she wants or needs...So I came up with the idea to make her a few cards and put them into a pretty box and this way she can sent out birthday cards, notes to friends, or thank you cards...
 The first card I choose to do is more for the boys in her family..I think it's always hard to find/make the cards for the males in our family...I don't know why...but I seem to always draw a blank when it comes to these types of cards...
 Next comes what I call my 'Hello' card...this card can pretty much be used for what ever the event is...plenty of room on the inside to write a nice little note...I like using this type of card when I've hear
a talk in church or Relief Society that has touched me...I like to sent a little card to let the teacher know just
how her lesson/talk affected me....
 A Thank You card... Never have too many of these on hand...
 The last is another set of Birthday Cards...for girls this time...
And last is the box the cards will go into, and each set of card are bundled up together with their envelopes (which have been also decorated up with the same paper as their card) and a ribbon around each set.. along with a pink pen..I'm sure she will be happy to have these cards. This was a fun gift to make...Next posting I hope will be my quilt...Watch for it...just have the binding and one little session to still quilt and I'll be done with it...I'll be sure to post when it's finished...Next project...I'll surprise you...Keep watching and reading....
TaTa...
